Gates Radiator Coolant Hose P/N:12541
Gates 21609 radiator coolant hose for the 1987-1990 Dodge Dakota V6 3.9L and other vehicles carries engine coolant between the engine and the radiator.
A worn coolant hose can show cracks, soft or swollen spots, a collapsed section or coolant seepage near the ends. Before you replace the hose, rule out a loose clamp or a leak at the radiator or a fitting, since those can look the same.
This Gates radiator coolant hose fits the 1987-1990 Dodge Dakota V6 3.9L and the 1977-1982 Porsche 924 4-cylinder 2.0L. The listing is a single hose, and the application takes one.
