Review on Gates 23556 Upper Radiator Hose by Chris Horton

Three things prevent it from getting more stars. one is long This must be the exact length provided by the OEM. You should create a separate one for V6. Second, the barb that attaches it to the factory bracket just below the filler neck is square. OEM is tapered. I had to cut it off and use zip ties. They don't last long in the heat. Third, the OEM had a spring to prevent the hose from kinking and/or collapsing. There was no spring in this replacement. I had to remove it from the OEM and put it in this replacement. Not much ringing, but the lid is also a bit lighter and cheaper than the OEM. I think I'll get a quality replacement as I don't trust the package.
