What is the main advantage of a molded coolant hose over a universal one?

A molded hose is shaped specifically for your vehicle's engine bay, which means it follows the correct routing without kinking. This ensures optimal coolant flow and makes installation simpler compared to universal hoses that might need to be cut and bent.

What material is this hose made from?

This hose is constructed from a heat-resistant rubber compound. This material is chosen to withstand the high temperatures and pressures within your vehicle's cooling system, resisting breakdown from coolant and engine heat.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This part number is for the molded coolant hose only. Clamps are typically sold separately and should be inspected or replaced when installing a new hose.

Product Details

This molded upper radiator hose from Gates is built to replace the original on a variety of Dodge and Plymouth vans from the late 70s through the late 80s, as well as early Dakota trucks. It's specifically shaped to fit the 3.7L 6-cylinder engine, ensuring proper routing and preventing kinks that can restrict coolant flow. A kinked or collapsed hose can lead to overheating, so having one that's formed correctly is key to keeping your engine cool.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant rubber compound for this hose, similar to what came from the factory. This material is designed to handle the high temperatures and pressures found in your cooling system, resisting degradation from coolant and engine heat. Because it's a molded hose, it offers a more direct and secure fit compared to universal hose options, making installation straightforward. This hose is a solid choice for anyone working on the cooling system of their classic Dodge van or early Dakota.

When replacing your coolant hose, it's a good time to inspect your radiator cap and thermostat for wear. Having these components in good working order along with a new hose ensures your cooling system is operating at its best.
