Product Details
Gates 21943 is a molded radiator coolant hose with a 2-inch end inside diameter on both ends and a 15.5-inch centerline length. The EPDM material is commonly used in engine cooling systems for its resistance to heat and coolant exposure. This hose is intended for applications that require a formed hose shape rather than a straight universal hose.
This part cross-references Dayco 71503 for the same application. If you are replacing a worn Ford F-150 or Ford Mustang coolant hose, Gates 21943 offers a molded replacement format that matches the routing needs of the original cooling system layout.
Common Problems This Hose Can Address
- Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged radiator hose
- Softening, swelling, or collapse of the original hose
- Poor coolant circulation caused by hose deterioration
- Loss of proper hose shape in a formed cooling line
- Need for a molded replacement during radiator service
Installation Notes and Tips
Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and nearby cooling components before installation. Drain coolant as needed, verify the hose routing matches the original formed path, and confirm the 2-inch connection points seat fully before refilling and bleeding the system. Check for leaks after the engine reaches operating temperature.
Quality Assurance
Gates manufactures this molded coolant hose to OEM-quality specifications for radiator and heater circuit replacement work. The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is engineered to cover a broad range of cooling system applications with formed-fit replacement options.
