Detailed Description

This molded coolant hose is shaped for lower hose replacement on Dodge Ram 2500 and Dodge Ram 3500 trucks in the 1994-2002 model years listed below. The EPDM material is commonly used in cooling-system hoses for its resistance to heat and coolant exposure, while the molded form helps maintain the original hose path and connection geometry. Gates 22082 is a direct-fit style replacement for service work where the factory hose shape matters.

This part cross-references Continental 62072 and Dayco 71716 for the same application. Gates 22082 is also listed among interchange references used for this fitment.
