Gates 94-02 Dodge Ram Pickup V-8 5.9L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

When it's time to replace the upper radiator hose on your 1994-2002 Dodge Ram with the 5.9L V-8 engine, a molded hose like this one from Gates is what you need. It's shaped specifically to follow the contours of your engine bay, ensuring it doesn't kink or rub against other components, which can lead to premature failure.

Gates has been making cooling system parts for a long time, and this hose is built to handle the heat and pressure cycles your truck's cooling system experiences. It's made from rubber compounds that resist degradation from coolant and engine heat, so you can expect it to last. This hose is designed to fit right in place of your old one, making the replacement process straightforward.

Replacing a coolant hose is a good idea whenever you're doing other cooling system work, like a radiator or thermostat change. It's a relatively simple job that can prevent a breakdown down the road.
