Gates 21414 Radiator Coolant Hose - Lower

Gates 21414 Molded Coolant Hose

The Gates 21414 molded coolant hose is an OE-style radiator coolant hose built for lower cooling-system routing on select Dodge and Mitsubishi trucks. Made from EPDM and formed to the correct molded shape, it supports a direct replacement for aging hose runs that need the right bend, length, and end sizing.

Compatible with 1983-1987 Dodge Ram 50, 1983-1986 Mitsubishi Mighty Max, and 1983-1984 Dodge Power Ram 50 lower hose applications, this part is built to match the vehicle-specific routing used in those cooling systems.

Product Details

Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is built for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant applications using OEM-quality specifications.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

• Cracked or split lower radiator hose
• Coolant seepage at an aging hose body
• Incorrect hose shape after prior replacement
• Softening or deterioration from heat and coolant exposure
• Poor routing caused by a hose that does not match the original molded path

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the lower hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Inspect hose clamps, thermostat housing connections, radiator necks, and adjacent cooling components for wear or corrosion before reassembly. Drain coolant as needed, transfer the hose carefully to preserve the molded shape, and confirm there is no contact with belts, pulleys, or sharp edges after installation.
