Gates 97-05 Ford Explorer Molded Coolant Hose

This is a Gates molded coolant hose, part number 22038. It's designed to replace the original hose in a variety of vehicles, including many Dodge Ram trucks, Ford Explorers and Rangers, and Jeep Grand Cherokees. A molded hose like this is shaped to fit specific routing paths in the engine bay, making installation straightforward compared to a universal hose that might need to be bent or cut.

Gates makes these hoses with materials that can handle the heat and pressure found in a cooling system. The rubber construction is built to resist cracking and leaks over time, ensuring your engine stays cool and runs smoothly. Because it's a direct fit replacement, you can expect it to connect securely to your radiator and engine water pump without needing extra adapters or modifications.
