workhorse 2004 8.1 help please...Radiator hoses...

[johncasey37]

Realized after my 2004 Southwind / Workhorse threw a Serp-Belt. that I had better replace the typical Maintenance items. FYI, your repair contract does not cover maintenance items. Anyway, i was successful at getting the right tensioner and idler pully, belt. But the Radiator hoses, upper, lower, bypass are proving very difficult. Been all over the internet for hours.
Old hoses have the following numbers on them, which are NO help, so far:
Both say Made in USA.
Lower : 3C24 EBP D1 80MH44 XBS 1305 LS
Upper: 3B28 EBP D1 80MH25 XBS


These are not right for my RV,too short by 5 inches
GM W0000218
GM W0000219

GATES 23803
CARQUEST 23803
NAPA 16487
ACDelco 22707L
GOODYEAR 61667

i plan to visit the RV repair place if i cannot find them online.

Thanks.

WHAT PART NUMBERS DID YOU USE

[johncasey37]

Thanks, Yes, i got the 218 and 219 today, still 2" shorter than what came off, but old ones were probably stretch over 11 years. The confusing part was the cross reference of 218/219....none seem to be the same. Got all the parts on the way, hardest one is the bypass hose, will go to NAPA tomorrow for that. There was a couple places to order it, but need it quick, got to plan the next vacation to Gulf Shores,Ala. Changing the water pump also, current one makes noise just moving the fan blades.
Surprised me how difficult it has been to track down the right stuff....whew....
Yes, and Thermostat....took a shot at ordering one.
Thanks for your help.

Are you replacing the thermostat too?

[catkins]

Make sure the hoses are long enough. Friends had issues with hose just a "bit" too short.

Pull the hoses and take them to NAPA. Most of the time the wearhouse up the street can figure it out. The other times I went to Advance and they figured it out.

Just about all you want to know about WH parts here OEMY's

[Carvin_Marvin]

Have you tried IRV2 forum? For the w22 they show NAPA 8441 upper Napa 9058 lower. I didn't see in your post which workhorse you have.

Go to this website. It is the best place to locate WH parts: Radiator hoses

GO TO A NAPA WITH A DEDICATED truck counter not the local rinky dink NAPA where the clerk has no clue about trucks.
You may have to go to Atlanta

Check your local GM dealer. This engine is used in trucks also.
NAPA or other parts store should be able to get them
