Product Details

Gates Engine Air Intake Hose ANTK170 is engineered as a direct replacement for the original intake ducting used on the left side body-to-air-cleaner-housing connection.

This part cross-references Rein ABV0172 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Unmetered air entering the intake tract
• Air leaks that can trigger drivability concerns
