Keep coolant moving between the engine and radiator with the Gates Radiator Coolant Hose 23061, the upper hose for the 1996-2000 Chevrolet Express 3500 and 1996-2000 GMC Savana 3500. It carries hot coolant from the engine to the top of the radiator so heat can be shed, dropping in as a direct-fit replacement on the listed applications.
- Upper radiator hose: routes coolant on the upper (engine-to-radiator) side of the cooling circuit.
- Direct-fit replacement: a direct-fit replacement for the listed 1996-2000 Chevrolet Express 3500 and GMC Savana 3500 applications.
- Worn-hose replacement: designed to replace a hardened, cracked, swollen, or leaking original hose.
A coolant hose flexes with engine movement and endures constant heat and pressure cycles, so the rubber eventually hardens, softens, or splits. Signs it may be time to replace include visible cracking, bulging, coolant seepage at the hose or clamps, or a hose that feels spongy when squeezed. If a failing upper hose is the source of your coolant loss, this replaces it. Inspect the clamps and refill with the coolant specified in your vehicle service information after installation.
