Gates 28500 Connector Or Reducer Review

Didn't fit my Silverado 5.3L 05. Revain in the garage said it would. Such an inconvenience to get a replacement from NAPA. At least they gave me the right part the first time.

Worked perfectly for 2008 Chevy Tahoe Single ended heater hose leaking Replaced with this a few weeks ago and no problem. I would recommend. Fast delivery cheap price.

If you are replacing your hoses and they originally had these fittings you will need them to complete the job. However, you will also need clamps to attach it to the hose.

Perfect fit for my broken hose to the heater cooler I thought I was in trouble and need to buy a brand new hose no this end turned out to be slipping and it is plugged into a terminal. Works like a champ.

OEM cracked on my 2003 7.3 F350, OEM parts were too expensive and I didn't want to use Dorman. So I chose this goal because it has never let me down. My truck needed 2 of these and they are the same size for entry and exit. Same for 99-07 F250/350 7.3 and 6.0.

The product was easy to install and matched the existing hose perfectly! The plug turns on so easily that it seems like it doesn't work. The hardest part was separating the innards of the original connector from the line, otherwise it took about 10 minutes. Saved a few hundred dollars on the repair!

Don't count on Revain parts to fit. Revain says it fits my 2004 Silverado, but it doesn't. The correct part, one that fits, is listed by Revain as "Will not fit your 2004 Silverado". This has happened a few times before, with Revain listing the incorrect part as a 'fit' and the actual correct part as a 'non-fit'.

The native hose quickly began to leak. The hose is held on the connector with a knurled clamp so it cannot be removed. I cut the tubing at the end of the connector. Defective connector (not so fast connector). I installed the Gates connector and clamped it with a clamp with constant compression and no leaks. (Never use clamps that you tighten with a screwdriver on a hose). It was easier to remove than OEM. one week in use so far

2003 Chevy Silverado lists two different size plugs or adapters on the heater core, unfortunately Revain only reports that. Please check the gate or doorman website for two applications. You can tell which one to buy by the size of the parting tool used to remove the original. If you're using the white tool, you don't need this part. If you use the green tool, you need it as a part. I learned it the hard way.
