What is the main purpose of the upper radiator hose?

The upper radiator hose connects the engine's thermostat housing to the top of the radiator. It allows hot coolant to flow from the engine to the radiator for cooling.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This Gates coolant hose (Part# 22467) does not include hose clamps. You will need to reuse your existing clamps or purchase new ones separately.

How do I know if I need to replace my upper radiator hose?

Look for signs of wear such as cracks, swelling, softness, or leaks around the ends. If the hose feels brittle or mushy, it's a good idea to replace it to prevent a coolant leak.

Product Details

When you're working on the cooling system for your 1998-2003 Dodge Ram Van with the V6 3.9L engine, replacing the upper radiator hose is a common and important step. This molded coolant hose from Gates is built to fit that specific application, helping to ensure your engine stays at the right temperature.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant rubber compound for this hose, similar to what the original equipment uses. The molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, which makes installation easier and helps prevent kinks or rubbing that could lead to leaks. It's designed to handle the pressure and temperature fluctuations that are normal in a cooling system, keeping coolant flowing where it needs to go.

This hose is a direct replacement for your original, so you can be confident it will fit right. It's a solid option for getting your van's cooling system back in top shape.
