Review on Gates 370650 Return Hose by Mitch Emmel

Not suitable. In the illustration, the bend on the inlet side (threaded) is "beneath" the hose fitting on the outlet side, so any contact at this intersection is metal-to-metal. In the part I received, the hose between the "lower V" and that bend on the intake side is too long, causing the entire assembly to sit lower on the truck so it doesn't sit directly in the cross member sits. It also means that the hard line will rub against the hose since the intake bend is a few inches up. The lack of lugs to attach the pipe to the crossmember means it can dangle freely unless you buy or fit some clamps, but it's possible for any non-original radiator to have a fault.
