What is the primary function of this upper coolant hose?

This upper coolant hose connects your engine's thermostat housing to the radiator. Its main job is to allow coolant to flow from the engine to the radiator for cooling.

What makes this hose 'flexible'?

The flexible construction allows the hose to bend and conform to the routing needed in your engine bay. This can make installation easier, especially in areas where space is limited.

What kind of coolant should I use with this hose?

Always use a coolant mixture recommended by your vehicle's manufacturer. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct type and ratio of coolant and water.

Product Details

Gates is a well-known name when it comes to belts and hoses, and this upper flexible coolant hose is a solid option for keeping your engine running cool. This particular hose is designed to fit a wide range of vehicles, including many Ford F-Series trucks from 1977-1979 with a V8 351 engine, as well as models like the American Motors Concord and Dodge D150. It's built to handle the heat and pressure cycles that are part of normal engine operation.

This hose is constructed from materials that are meant to resist degradation from coolant and heat, which is crucial for preventing leaks and ensuring your cooling system functions as it should. Its flexible design can make installation easier, especially in tight engine bays where a straight hose might be difficult to route. Having a reliable upper radiator hose is key to maintaining proper engine temperature and preventing overheating, especially on older V8 engines.
