Gates 80-86 Jeep CJ Series 6-Cyl. 4.2L Lower Molded Coolant Hose

This is the Gates 20573 lower molded coolant hose, designed to fit a wide range of vehicles including the Jeep CJ Series with a 6-cylinder 4.2L engine, as well as many Dodge, Chevrolet, and Ford models from various years. A coolant hose is crucial for your engine's cooling system, carrying the antifreeze mixture from the radiator to the engine block and back, helping to keep your engine at its optimal operating temperature.

Gates makes this hose from durable EPDM rubber, which is known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. This helps ensure the hose won't crack or degrade prematurely, even under the demanding conditions of an engine bay. The molded shape means it follows the specific routing needed for your application, making installation more straightforward than trying to bend and fit a universal hose. This particular hose is designed to connect to the lower port of your radiator and the corresponding engine connection.
