Product Details

When you're getting your 6-cylinder Jeep CJ ready for a cooling system refresh, a new upper radiator hose is a must-have. This molded hose from Gates is specifically shaped to fit the 258 cubic inch engine found in 1972 through 1974 Jeep CJ5 and CJ6 models, ensuring a clean installation without kinks or twists that can restrict coolant flow.

Gates is a well-known name in cooling system parts, and this hose is built to handle the heat and pressure of your engine. It's made from EPDM rubber, which is a strong material that resists cracking and degradation from coolant and engine heat. This means you can expect it to last and keep your engine running at the right temperature. It's a direct fit for the specified Jeep models, meaning it's shaped to connect your radiator to your engine's thermostat housing without needing any extra modifications.

While this hose is a direct fit for your Jeep CJ, it's also designed to work on a wide range of other vehicles from the 1930s through the 1970s, including some older Dodge trucks and Chevrolet pickups. Make sure to check the fitment details to see if it matches your specific application.
