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

This molded coolant hose from Gates is built with EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and coolant chemicals. It's specifically shaped to fit the upper radiator hose position on a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs from 1988 to 1995, including popular models like the C1500, K1500, and Yukon with the 5.7L V8 engine.

A molded hose like this one is designed to replace the original hose precisely, ensuring it follows the correct routing and avoids kinking or rubbing against other engine components. This is important because a kinked or damaged hose can restrict coolant flow, leading to overheating. Gates has been making cooling system parts for a long time, and this hose is made to handle the pressures and temperatures found in your truck's cooling system.

When you're replacing your upper radiator hose, using a molded hose that matches the factory shape makes the job straightforward. It's a solid option for keeping your 5.7L V8 running cool.
