Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-CHV-96DBL is a specific-fit silicone coolant hose kit engineered for Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs powered by the 6.5L diesel engine. Built from a blend of high-grade silicone reinforced with four layers of heat-resistant embedded fibers, this blue hose kit is designed as a direct replacement for aging factory coolant hoses. It retains the original hose routing for straightforward, bolt-in style installation.
As part of Mishimoto’s Cooling lineup, this silicone coolant hose kit is engineered to handle increased pressure and heat compared to the factory rubber hoses it replaces, which is intended to help prevent blowouts and extend service life. The kit is classified as a Performance grade, specific-fit hose set rather than a universal hose, so it is precision engineered to match factory fitment. Every Mishimoto silicone coolant hose kit is backed by the brand’s signature lifetime warranty, and this hose kit is also offered in black and red color options in addition to the blue version shown here.
