Key Features

• EPDM construction for coolant-system durability
• Molded shape for the specified upper hose routing

Detailed Description

Gates 23184 is a molded upper radiator coolant hose designed for vehicles that require a formed hose with the correct bends and dimensions for factory-style routing. The EPDM material is commonly used in cooling-system service because it is suited to heat and coolant exposure, while the molded construction helps match the original hose path more closely than universal tubing. This part number is used across multiple GM full-size truck and SUV platforms, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500 HD, Tahoe, Suburban 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade models. This part cross-references Continental 62916 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Cracked or split upper radiator hose
• Coolant leaks at the hose body
• Softening or swelling from age and heat
• Restricted coolant flow caused by hose collapse
• Incorrect fitment from a previous universal hose repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length before installation. This Gates 23184 hose is listed for upper-position applications only, so confirm the vehicle’s original hose path against the fitment data before removal. Inspect clamps, necks, and adjoining cooling-system components for wear or corrosion during service.
