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

This Gates molded upper radiator hose is built with EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and coolant chemicals. It's specifically shaped to fit the 5.7L V8 engines in a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs from the late 80s through the mid-90s, including popular models like the C1500 and K1500 pickups, as well as the Yukon and Blazer.

Replacing a cracked or leaking coolant hose is crucial for keeping your engine from overheating. This hose is designed to follow the factory routing, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force it into place. The molded shape ensures it won't kink, which can restrict coolant flow and lead to engine damage. Gates uses robust construction techniques to ensure this hose holds up to the pressures and temperatures found in your cooling system.

When you're working on your cooling system, it's always a good idea to inspect all hoses and clamps. This hose is a direct replacement for the original upper hose, helping to restore your vehicle's cooling efficiency.
