What material is this coolant hose made from?

This Gates coolant hose is constructed from EPDM rubber. This material is chosen for its ability to withstand high engine temperatures and resist degradation from coolant chemicals.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This Gates 23604 coolant hose does not include installation clamps. You will need to reuse your existing clamps or purchase new ones separately.

Why is a molded hose better than a universal one?

A molded hose like this one is shaped to perfectly match the factory routing. This ensures there are no kinks or tight bends that could restrict coolant flow or cause the hose to fail prematurely, unlike a universal hose that may require manipulation.

Product Details

This is the Gates 23604 molded lower coolant hose, specifically made for Dodge and Ram pickup trucks equipped with the 5.7L V8 engine. It fits a range of models from 2009 through 2017, including the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500. This hose is a direct replacement for your original, ensuring proper coolant flow to keep your engine running at the right temperature.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for this hose, which is built to withstand the high temperatures and pressures found in your cooling system. The molded shape means it follows the exact routing of your factory hose, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force it into place. This is important because a hose that doesn't fit right can kink, restricting flow or even rubbing against other components, leading to premature failure.

When you're replacing your lower radiator hose, it's a good time to inspect the upper hose and thermostat as well. Having all the components working together ensures your cooling system is in top shape, especially for those 5.7L HEMI engines.
