Product Details

This Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is engineered for upper, lower, bypass, heater, and other coolant applications with OE-style dimensions and formed routing. Part number 21718 is shaped for the lower position and is listed for 1988-1993 Chevrolet K1500 and K2500, 1988-1990 Chevrolet C1500 and C2500, 1991-1992 Chevrolet C1500 and C2500, 1992-1995 Chevrolet G10, G20, and G30, plus matching GMC G1500, G2500, G3500, C1500, C2500, K1500, and K2500 applications. If you are replacing a lower radiator coolant hose on a Chevrolet C1500 or GMC K2500, Gates 21718 provides the molded profile needed for proper routing. This part cross-references Dayco 71421 and Continental 61455 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged lower hose
  • Improper hose routing after a previous repair
  • Heat-related hose softening or collapse
  • Loss of coolant flow through the radiator circuit
  • Fitment issues on lower hose replacement jobs for Chevrolet and GMC trucks and vans

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and lower hose routing before installation. Compare the hose shape, end diameters, and centerline length to the original part to confirm correct alignment on the radiator and engine connections. Inspect adjoining clamps, necks, and coolant passages for wear or corrosion before installing the new hose.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this molded coolant hose to OEM-quality specifications for the listed applications. The molded design supports accurate replacement of the original lower hose on compatible Chevrolet and GMC vehicles.
