Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-RADO-99BL is a direct-fit silicone coolant hose kit built to replace the factory rubber coolant hoses on a wide lineup of Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac trucks and SUVs. Molded in blue and constructed from 4-ply, heat-resistant silicone, this cooling hose kit is designed to shrug off the cracking, swelling, and hardening that eventually cause factory rubber hoses to fail. Every kit ships complete with worm gear clamps and is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
A leaking coolant hose that goes unnoticed can lead to serious engine damage, and OE rubber is often the weak link in an otherwise healthy cooling system. Mishimoto addresses that with high-grade silicone reinforced by four layers of embedded, heat-resistant fibers, giving the hose kit increased pressure and temperature tolerance compared to stock rubber. This Mishimoto cooling upgrade is intended for both stock and modified trucks, so whether your rig sees daily commuting, towing, or off-road duty in varying climates, the hose kit is built to handle the underhood heat and pressure that comes with it.
Vehicle Applications
This is a vehicle-specific fit, not a universal hose kit, and it covers a broad range of GM full-size trucks and SUVs. On the Chevrolet side, it fits the Silverado 1500 (1999-2007), Silverado 1500 HD (2001-2003 and 2005-2006, plus 2007 Classic models), Silverado 2500 (1999-2004), Silverado 2500 HD (2001-2007, plus 2007 Classic), and Silverado 3500 (2001-2006, plus 2007 Classic and 3500 HD). The equivalent GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra 1500 HD, Sierra 2500, Sierra 2500 HD, and Sierra 3500 lines are covered across those same year spans.
