W16 6.0L radiator hoses

[mrracechaser]

I have a 2006 W16 Workhorse with the 6.0L engine. I am in the process of changing the radiator and decided to change the hoses as well.
I found out that the top hose is a W0008098 and the lower is a W0008099 which don't cross to anything. Ultra RV shows the top as out of stock. I have found an upper hose that should work by searching thru the back room of a parts house. So far I haven't found a lower hose. I looked at hundreds of hoses on the Find It Parts site but no joy.

The hoses are different for the 6.0L engine. The ones for the 8.1L can be found easily.

Anyone have a part number? Thank you.

The ones for the 8.1L can be found easily.

No they can't. I had to make the upper for my P32. I spent a lot less time just making one out of pieces than trying to find one that fits.

I'm guessing he is referring to the W16 chassis with an 8.1L engine when he says "easily". The hoses required is dependent on the combo of chassis & engine - not engine alone.

If you go on the Gates site, you can filter down hoses by inside and outside diameters. Just might find something that works.

Thank you for the replies. I found an upper hose in the stock room of an Advanced A P: Dayco 72345 and a lower Gates 24476 from O'Reilly's A P. I had to cut away the band and cut out the plastic quick connect portion.
In several places they used 5/8 to 3/4 heater hoses. I am still working that out.

Omey's Workhorse parts lists part numbers for other Workhorse chassis but nor the smaller ones.

The radiator is the same as the larger chassis'. You can find them from a couple hundred dollars to over a thousand.
