Detailed Description
The Gates 12048 molded heater hose is engineered for applications that require a pre-formed hose profile rather than a universal straight hose. Its 8-inch centerline length and 15 mm inside diameters at both ends support direct routing in smaller, tighter-fitting engine compartments. For 2009-2010 Dodge Journey engine to oil cooler service, this molded hose helps maintain the original hose path and connection geometry. If you are replacing a worn or damaged Dodge Journey heater hose, Gates 12048 provides an OE-style molded replacement format.

- Collapsed or softened hose sections from age and pressure
- Poor routing caused by a straight hose in a molded application
- Coolant leaks at a hose that no longer seals properly
- Fitment issues in compact engine compartments on Dodge Journey models
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify hose routing against the original molded shape before installation. Confirm both connection points are clean and free of debris so the hose seats fully on the fittings. Check clamp condition and replace any worn clamps during service if needed. This hose is listed for 2009-2010 Dodge Journey engine to oil cooler applications, so confirm the vehicle year and position before ordering.
