Review on Gates 23556 Upper Radiator Hose by Chris Horton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Must be bought from Mopar

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.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • High price
