This part cross-references Ford 7T4Z-8260-B for the same application.

Common Reasons for Replacement

  • Coolant seepage at the hose body or branch connection
  • Cracking, hardening, or swelling from age and heat cycling
  • Soft spots or collapse that restrict coolant flow
  • Visible wear on the upper radiator hose in tow-package vehicles
  • Loss of sealing at the radiator or engine connection points

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and adjacent cooling components for corrosion or damage before installing Dayco 72454. Drain coolant as needed, route the hose to match the original curved layout, and confirm the protective sleeve is positioned correctly away from heat sources.
