Gates 88-95 Chevrolet C & K Series Pickup V-8 5.7L Lower Molded Coolant Hose

When you're replacing the radiator or dealing with a coolant leak on your 1988-1999 Chevrolet or GMC truck with a 5.7L V8, a new lower radiator hose is often part of the job. This molded hose from Gates is shaped specifically to fit the routing from the radiator to the engine block, ensuring a secure connection and proper coolant flow.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube and cover, which can handle the high temperatures and harsh conditions found in the engine bay. The hose is reinforced with synthetic fiber braiding to help it maintain its shape and resist collapsing under vacuum, which is crucial for consistent coolant circulation. This molded design means you won't have to fight with a stiff, straight hose trying to bend into place, making installation much simpler.

This hose is designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC C/K series trucks, including models like the C1500, K1500 Suburban, and Yukon. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm it's the right part for your specific vehicle.
