The bypass hose provides a dedicated coolant route around the thermostat and through the engine block, ensuring even temperature distribution. In high-performance or towing applications the standard hose may become soft, swell, or collapse — this Fleece hose upgrades that critical link.
Is this hose only for stock engines?
No — it’s ideal for stock or modified applications. Because it’s built from braided nylon with a high-temperature rating, it handles higher flow, higher temps, and more demanding conditions than many OEM replacements.
Can I reuse my old fittings?
Yes — this hose uses direct-fit length and ends; if your original fittings are in good shape, they can be reused. Always inspect for wear, leaks, and condition during replacement.
