Product Details

Gates 22860 is a molded coolant hose engineered to match the routing and connection layout used on select Ford trucks. The hose uses EPDM and plastic materials and is shaped to follow the factory cooling system path, helping maintain proper coolant flow in vehicles that use an engine oil cooler. This Gates molded coolant hose is listed for 1999-2004 Ford F-150, 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage, 1999-2004 Ford F-250, and 1999-2003 Ford F-350 lower hose applications. The part number 22860 is also cross-referenced to Anchor 9495 for the same application.

Gates’ modular coolant hose line is built around application-specific assemblies that mirror OE-style layouts and can include integrated components such as branches, connectors, sensors, or restrictors when required by the vehicle design. For Ford F-150 and Ford F-250 cooling system service, that means a hose shaped for the correct fit and routing rather than a universal cut-to-fit replacement.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Cracked or deteriorated lower radiator hose material
• Incorrect hose routing after cooling system repair
• Leak points caused by aged molded hose sections
• Cooling system service on trucks with an engine oil cooler
• Replacement needs for a Ford F-150, F-250, or F-350 lower coolant hose

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, model, and lower hose routing before installation. This hose is listed for Ford F-150, Ford F-150 Heritage, Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 applications with an engine oil cooler, so matching the original hose shape and connection points is important. Inspect adjoining clamps, fittings, and cooling system components for wear before reassembly, and confirm the hose seats fully at each connection.
