Your friendly Neighborhood NAPA or PEP Boys, O'Rileys Parts store should be able to look this up. If there are any markings on the hose or if you can bring it with you would be a great help. Original equipment part go to dealer it may be cheaper than you think

Where can you obtain the proper coolant for a Chevrolet Silverado?
Use a good quality antifreeze (available at Wal-Mart or auto parts) mixed 50/50 with water
Where can you obtain a serpertine belt routing diagram for a 1999 Ford Escort?
If Its Not On The Hood, Or Near The Radiator. Stop By A Dealer The Parts Dept. Should Be Able To Run You A Copy Off.
What color is antifreeze for 1999 Saturn sL2 sedans?
1999 SL2 should have what is known as DEXCOOL in the cooling system. It's a GM special coolant that you can obtain at any Autozone or your preferred parts provider. The color in this should be a pinkish color if not orangish. Hope this helps you. DO NOT USE GREEN ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT IN YOUR ENGINE OR MIX COLORS OF COOLANT! YOU WILL CAUSE A GELATIN LIKE SUBSTANCE TO FORM, AND POSSIBLY CLOG/RUIN YOUR COOLING SYSTEM.
Why is my 1998 Jeep Cherokee overheating?
First you have to understand the components of the cooling system.1) Coolant in the engine water jacketa) must be full, fresh and correctly mixed2) Coolant in the radiatora) must be full, fresh and correctly mixed3) Thermostatic valvea) must correctly open at the appropriate temperature4) Mechanical clutch driven fana) must actuate fan at the appropriate temperature (190)5) Electric cooling fana) must engage at operating temperature (210)6) Water pumpa) must properly circulate water7) Radiatora) must be free of clogs and leaksb) must maintain pressure to prevent coolants from evaporating rapidly (boiling)Next you must understand the operation of this system.1) On cold start, the Thermostatic valve (3) is shut, forcing (1) coolant in water jacket to recirculate.2) Once engine temp reaches the point where the thermostatic valve (3) actuates (~190 f.), the coolant in the radiator (3) is circulated into the engine water jacket (1)3) About the same temperature, the thermostatic clutch on the mechanical fan actuates, blowing forced air onto the radiator (7)4) If the car reaches 210 degrees or more, the secondary electrical fan should engage which will increase the forced air circulation to the radiator.Overheating typically follows one of a few different patterns, and their most common causes1) Overheats while sitting at idle or stuck in traffic, does not overheat while driving on highway.a) improper thermostatic valve operationb) low coolant or bad coolant mixturec ) improper water pump operation2) Overheats while under load.a) improper cooling fan operation,b) improper thermostatic valve operationc ) improper water pump operation3) Overheats quickly, under any circumstances.a) head gaskets (also look for telltales exhaust in radiator fluid - there is a test for this)b) lack of proper coolant in engine water jacketTertiary issues of no heat in cabin :a) low coolantb) bad thermostatic valvec) blocked heater core in cabinBe aware that curing one problem may not be the only problem that your cooling system has, so approach the problem with an open mind and a willingness to make clear observations and consider all factors.The simplest diagnostic procedures, from easiest to less easier are :1) Check coolant level and mixture.a) never remove the cap of a hot cooling system, ever. For any reason. The pressure can be explosively high, and the coolant can spontaneously evaporate causing a steam/boiling coolant fountain when given a chance to evaporate.b) a cool coolant system should have coolant visible in the filler of the radiator and you should not be able to add more water without it spilling out.c) coolant should be of a proper mixture for many reasons including corrosion prevention and thermal conductivity. There are testers available which will test the coolant condition. Coolant should be a mild fluorescent green-yellow color. It should not be brown, muddy or grey.d) if you must add water/coolant, and mix it yourself it's recommended to use distilled water. Minerals that go into your engine remain there.2) Check for air bubbles in cooling system and basic circulationa) jack up front of car (taking all safety precautions as applicable)b) loosen radiator cap to half-lockc) knead upper radiator hose, pumping it to draw fluid in and push air out of overflow valved) start engine and allow to run to warm (with car jacked up, and radiator cap in half-locke) test upper hose, it should be hot and full of fluid once car warms upf) observe radiator fluid, it should appear to be circulatingafter verifying all of the above if condition not found and overheating persists3) Test thermostatic valve operationa) start engine and run to warmb) turn on heater, hot air should come out. if it does - your thermostat is likely good3b) Observe thermostatic valve operationa) remove thermostatic valve from engineb) place in boiling waterc) observe that thermostatic valve opens rapidly and smoothly and closes quickly once cooledd) if this works, your thermostatic valve works properly4) Check for exhaust leak into water jacketa) test water jacket coolant (you must specifically obtain water jacket coolant) for exhaust residueb) If you find exhaust residue in coolant, you most likely have either a cracked head, or blown head gasket
How do you flush the coolant system in a 1969 Chevy Corvette?
Answer Obtain a prestone flush kit and a container of fast acting flush plus 2 gallons of antifreeze. You will be splicing the tee fitting in your return heater hose ( the cooler of the two hoses), draining the existing coolant, filling with straight water and flush to the radiator, running the engine for ten minutes with the heater on full then hooking up your garden hose to the adapter that comes with the kit. After you have run it the clean water thru it, the radiator and engine will be nice and clean; then drain the pure water and add 50/50 antifreeze and water mix and your done. I hope this helps you. Mark Following the above procedure, I would recommend adding the first gallon of straight antifreeze in without mixing with water because you will not have drained the engine block by simply draining the radiator. So you still have at least one gallon of clear water in the block to mix with one gallon of straight antifreeze. Add the rest with a 50/50 mix for protection down to -34 degrees F.
How much antifreeze do you need to fill your radiator for a 2002 Pontiac grand prix?
The question needs more info to answer properly What engine and was the coolant drained completely Generaly speaking to obtain a --35 below mixture which is the recommended mixture for both hot and cold climates a 4 cylinder enging needs 4 liter(us quarts) of antifreeze ---a 6 cylinder 6 liters(us quarts) a 8 cylinder 8 liters(us quarts) then add water to the correct level. But looking in the manual is really what you should be doing.

What makes a 2000 Plymouth Neon overheat Is it the radiator?
There are a number of things that will make yours and most other cars overheat if a few things are at fault. 1. The radiator or interior heater matrix could be blocked, check top & bottom hoses, if top hose is hot and bottom is cold this will indicate blocked rad' or sticking thermostat, do the same with the heater hoses that go through the firewall or enter into the cabin. 2. The electric fan temp' switch maybe inop' or the wiring the fan maybe damaged, find the temp' switch and link a small length of wire to short out the connection, fan should come on, if it does then switch faulty if engine very hot or up to operating temp' 3. The coolant header tank or any other item in the system maybe blowing off coolant under pressure, due to splits or cracks, obtain pressure testing tool or run engine up to and beyond what is normal and observe any leaks or steam. 4. Water pump impeller maybe worn out, test for coolant flow, always use good quality anti-freeze in summer and winter due to its anti corrosion and lubrication qualities.
