Review on 🔧 Gates 22013 Premium Molded Coolant Hose: Optimal Cooling Solution for Your Vehicle by Daniel Aboubakar

There's not much to say about a radiator hose that fits perfectly and is built to last. It fitted my 1990 Chevy K2500 truck perfectly with a 350 engine and a 35" wide radiator (be sure to measure your radiator as Revane will say other hoses will fit which is incorrect) which seems quite difficult. anything rubbery and/or flexible... like straps and hoses. It is significantly thicker than the 5 year old NAPA abdominal tube it replaces. It gets pretty hot under the hood here in the desert summer, and the last thing you want is for that bulge in your pants to burst when you're miles from anywhere. I always throw the old one in the truck tool box so I have a spare. If it doesn't hold up as well as the last Gates I've bought I'll re-rate it, but for now it's a 5-star tube and the NAPA tube that's being removed is 3-star at best.
