What It Helps Solve

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged upper radiator hose
• Softening, swelling, or collapse in the cooling hose
• Improper hose routing after a failed replacement
• Loss of cooling-system integrity from a deteriorated factory hose
• Fitment issues when replacing the original molded hose on Ford truck and SUV applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and centerline length against the original part before installation. Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and nearby cooling components for wear or corrosion before installing the new hose. Confirm the application is the upper radiator hose position for your vehicle, especially on 1995-1997 Ford F-250 and F-350 models.
