What's a good lower radiator hose?

[DiecellDan]

Looking to replace my lower radiator hose. Which do yall recommend?

Any brand will work just fine as long as the one you buy has the metal spring inside to prevent it from collapsing.

I’m pretty sure continental has part numbers that are specific. I ordered an upper and lower today, we’ll see if they actually have the spring inside them.

@Rossroams what's the website and part number you ordered?

I got mine locally from O'Reilly's, Gates part # 21405. The first one they gave me didn't have the spring / flap / whatever inside it, but the second one did. Make sure it has that or else very bad things will happen.

If it doesn't have the spring, you can pull your old one out of the old hose if it's in good shape and re-use it in the new hose

Motor craft were still available from Rockauto a few months ago when I got one.
