Common Cooling System Issues

  • Cracked or split upper radiator hose
  • Coolant leaks at the hose body or connection points
  • Softening, swelling, or heat-related hose deterioration
  • Incorrect hose shape after prior replacement
  • Poor fitment from a non-molded hose

Installation Notes

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and nearby cooling components for wear or corrosion, and replace any damaged parts before refilling the system. Confirm the hose is seated fully and routed without twist or contact with hot or moving components.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures this molded coolant hose to OEM-quality specifications for radiator hose replacement service. The formed EPDM construction and application-specific dimensions support consistent fitment on the listed Jeep TJ and Jeep Wrangler upper hose applications.
