2003489C1 Cross-Reference — Molded Upper Radiator Inlet Hose - 2.5 to 2.25 ID

2003489C1 is the molded upper radiator inlet hose International used on the 3800 and NGD engines, stepping down from 2.5" to 2.25" ID to mate the radiator tank to the water inlet housing. If your old hose is cracked at the molded bends or soft and mushy, this is the number to work from.

What This Hose Is and Where It Goes

This is a molded piece, not straight stock - it's got specific bends built in to route around the fan shroud and clear the alternator bracket on 3800/NGD applications. The 2.5 to 2.25 step-down is molded into the hose itself, so you're not stacking reducers or cutting bushings to make it work.

Because it's molded to a factory routing, a straight or universal hose won't hold the same path without kinking or rubbing on something under the hood. That's the whole reason International cataloged a specific molded part instead of letting shops make their own out of flex hose.

Watch your ID at both ends before you order - some trucks in this range got a straight 2.5" hose depending on radiator tank casting. Measure the old hose or check the tag on it if it's still legible.

How the Cross Numbers Line Up

2003489C1 is the headline number, and 2003489C2 shows up as a running change - same hose, minor spec revision International made at some point. F02515S352 is the aftermarket cross that matches the molded shape and both bore sizes.

2007779C1 and 2007778C1 are related International part numbers but they're not always direct subs for this exact hose - they can be for a different radiator configuration or a companion hose in the same cooling circuit. Don't assume interchangeable just because the numbers are close in sequence.

Surest way to confirm: pull the old hose and check for a molded-in part number, or run your truck's VIN through International's parts lookup. If the old hose is too degraded to read, measure both ends and count the bends against a picture of 2003489C1 before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Does 2003489C1 fit my International 4300?

Not necessarily - this hose is cataloged for 3800 and NGD engine applications, and the 4300 could have a different radiator hose depending on engine and model year. Confirm with your VIN or by checking the number on your old hose before ordering.

Is F02515S352 the same as the International 2003489C1?

F02515S352 is the aftermarket cross-reference for that hose - same molded shape, same 2.5" to 2.25" step-down. It's built to interchange with the International number, but always confirm fit against your old hose's routing and bore sizes since running changes happened over the years.

My old hose has 2007779C1 stamped on it - will this one work?

Maybe, maybe not. That number sometimes shows up in the same cooling system but isn't guaranteed to be this exact upper inlet hose - it could be a companion hose with different bends or bore. Surest to measure your old hose against the specs for 2003489C1 or have us check by VIN before you buy.
