What is the main purpose of the lower coolant hose?

The lower coolant hose connects your radiator to the engine's water pump. It allows cooled coolant from the radiator to flow back into the engine to absorb heat, helping to maintain the optimal operating temperature.

Why is a molded hose better than a universal cut-to-fit hose for this application?

A molded hose is shaped to match the original factory routing, ensuring it fits perfectly without kinking or straining. This direct fit promotes optimal coolant flow and reduces the risk of premature hose failure compared to a universal hose that might not follow the correct path.

What material is this Gates coolant hose made from?

This Gates coolant hose is made from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for both the inner tube and the outer cover. It also features polyester cord reinforcement to help it maintain its shape and integrity under pressure.

Product Details

This Gates molded coolant hose is specifically made for the 2009-2017 Dodge Journey with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine. It's designed to replace the original lower radiator hose, which is crucial for circulating coolant and keeping your engine from overheating. Because it's a molded hose, it follows the exact bends and curves needed to connect your radiator to the engine block without any kinks or strain on the rubber.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube and cover, which can handle the high temperatures and pressure found in your cooling system. Inside, reinforcement layers of polyester cord help the hose maintain its shape and prevent it from collapsing under vacuum. This well-built construction means it's ready to stand up to the demands of daily driving and help prevent leaks or premature failure.

When you're replacing a coolant hose, it's always a good idea to inspect the rest of your cooling system. Check your upper hose, thermostat, and radiator for any signs of wear or leaks, as these components often work together. Having the right molded hose ensures a clean installation and proper coolant flow.
