The hose features two different inside diameters at each end—1.34 inches (34 mm) and 1.5 inches (38 mm)—to match specific radiator and engine connections. With a centerline length of 21.6 inches (549 mm), this molded hose is designed to fit the cooling system layout of the compatible vehicle models without modification. The absence of internal springs and quick connect fittings simplifies the hose structure, reducing potential failure points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement of worn or cracked radiator coolant hoses in Chrysler Caravan and Dodge Grand Caravan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing coolant leaks caused by hose degradation in Plymouth Voyager models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolving overheating issues due to restricted or collapsed hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrading to a molded hose for improved fit and reduced installation errors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintaining proper coolant flow to prevent engine damage in Grand Voyager vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the Gates Molded Coolant Hose 22224, ensure the engine is cool to avoid burns.
