Detailed Description

Gates 52408 is a radiator coolant hose designed for modular cooling assemblies that require more than a simple straight hose. The molded shape, 21-inch centerline length, and 1.3-inch to 1.5-inch end diameters support the routing and connection points used in select Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator cooling systems. Gates builds this hose to application-specific specifications and includes integrated OE-style elements such as branches, quick-connectors, sensors, or restrictors when required by the design.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., F12188, R43305) for the same application. Part number 52408 is also associated with Mopar 68280782AD interchange data.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a cracked or leaking coolant hose
• Restoring proper coolant flow through a molded hose assembly
• Addressing damaged connector or port sections in the hose assembly
• Repairing hose routing that no longer matches the original layout
• Replacing an aging hose with an OE-style molded assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and upper hose application before installation. Compare the hose routing, connector style, and end diameters to the removed part to confirm a correct match. Because this is a molded assembly, proper alignment of the integrated connection points is important during installation.
