Gates 80-84 Chevrolet C & K Series Pickup 6-Cyl. 4.1L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This Gates molded upper coolant hose is built to fit the 4.1L 6-cylinder engines in a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks and vans from the early 80s. It's specifically shaped to replace the original hose, ensuring it routes correctly around other engine components without kinking or rubbing. This is important because a coolant hose that's not shaped right can restrict flow, leading to overheating, or it can rub against something and develop a leak.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube and outer cover, which is essential for handling the high temperatures and constant pressure found in a cooling system. Inside, reinforcement layers of synthetic yarn give the hose the strength it needs to hold its shape and resist bursting. This well-built hose is designed to be a direct replacement for your original equipment hose, making installation straightforward.

If you're working on a 1980-1986 Chevrolet C10, K20, or a similar GMC model with the 4.1L engine, this hose is what you'll need to keep your cooling system running properly.
