Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ High-Performance Gates-22832 Hose: Durability and Reliability for Optimal Performance by Carl Watkins

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Caution - looks like Gates mislabeled the batch of these hoses

I purchased this lower radiator assembly (fits V84Runners and GX470) as part of a timing belt replacement on my Lexus GX470. Don't think one of the very last things installed was that hose - and it doesn't even come close. I was wondering if I had ordered the wrong hose so I checked four different websites and they all confirmed that the Gates 22832 was right for my application. I took the hose along with the original to the local auto zone for re-examination. They looked at my car, went to the back and pulled out a Gates 22832, which was exactly what I got from Revain. The next morning I went to NAPA and bought their brand name (manufactured, according to NAPA, by Gates) which exactly matched the original part. Given that I received the completely wrong part from Revain and then saw another at my local parts store that was exactly the same but both marked with the correct part number, I can only assume Gates made a batch of these has produced these parts for sale. on the market that are three inches shorter, have the wrong inside diameter and shape on one end, but are marked 22832. ), then on top of the hose I got from Revain.

Pros
  • Radiator
Cons
  • Security
