I had over 5’ left for my 2003 6.0L used replace quick connect end to finish the job. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly the right ID and overall length to replace heater hose *by K***U on November 19, 2024* Just replaced the heater core inlet/outlet on my 2002 Yukon XL with the upgraded Dorman aluminum pieces, and the old hoses were super loose on the fittings. These new hoses fit nice and snug and there was still about a foot of length left after replacing both hoses that go down to the water pump. Great price, always great quality from Gates. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gates 28491 Safety Stripe Standard Straight Heater Hose-6' Length, Inner Diameter 5/8" - 4Pcs Dashboard Air Conditioning Deflector Outlet Side Roof Vent - Mount Round Louvered Dash Vent Exhaust Grille for Car RV Boats Yacht - Black - 2 Pcs Cab Heater Y-Fitting 1 Inch to 5/8 Hose Clamp Heater Made from Aluminum Compatible with UTV CAN AM RZR SXS Polaris Yamaha Honda --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/5673949-gates-28491-safety-stripe-standard-straight-heater-hose-6-length](https://www.desertcart.us/products/5673949-gates-28491-safety-stripe-standard-straight-heater-hose-6-length) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
