Product Details

What This Hose Helps Address

  • Coolant leaks at a cracked or aged heater hose assembly
  • Restricted coolant flow caused by deterioration inside the hose
  • Improper routing after a previous hose failure or repair
  • Heat-related hardening, swelling, or soft spots in the cooling line
  • Loss of heater circuit integrity on the Ford Expedition cooling system

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000-2002 Ford Expedition, heater to intake manifold. Notes for this application include auxiliary heater use and re-use of the existing flow restrictor. Verify hose routing, end diameters, and branch orientation against the original assembly before installation. This Gates 22538 hose is intended for the specified molded coolant hose position on the Ford Expedition and should be matched to the vehicle’s factory cooling layout.
