A coolant hose is a wear item: heat, pressure, and time cause the material to harden, crack, swell, or leak. Signs this hose may need replacing include visible coolant seepage at the connections, bulging or spongy sections, or a hose that feels brittle. If a failed hose is the cause of coolant loss, replacing it restores a sealed coolant path.
Manufacturer part number 25474.
What does the Gates 25474 hose do?

Is this an upper or lower radiator hose?
This part number is cataloged in both upper and lower positions (including engine-to-pipe, pipe-to-radiator, and pipe-to-pipe routings) depending on the vehicle. Check the Buyer's Guide for the correct position for your application.
Will it fit my vehicle?

What are signs this hose needs replacing?

Should I replace coolant when installing this hose?
Draining and refilling with the correct coolant is common when opening the cooling system. Consult the vehicle service information for the proper coolant type and fill procedure.
