Review on 🚀 Gates-21909 Hose: Superior Performance for Every Application by Daniel Truett

I bought this to replace the original water pump hose to the oil cooler on our 1993 motorhome on a Ford E-350 chassis. It worked, but it's very tight at both ends and the curve is a little tighter than it should have been. I couldn't reattach the hose without detaching the oil cooler. What eventually worked for me was unscrewing the oil cooler bolt closest to the water pump, unscrewing the radiator, then folding the hose and working on both pipes and reattaching the radiator. I had to replace the oil cooler rubber O-rings and buy larger hose clamps (think 2.5 inch). I also had to use a hair dryer for a few minutes to soften the tubing and rub lithium grease on the inside. hose before it slips off the metal.
