Product Details

Gates 24423 is a molded coolant hose engineered for the lower cooling circuit on Ford Explorer models equipped with W/P.T.O. The hose uses a modular assembly format with a branch, a female quick connector, and two male quick connectors, helping it match the original hose layout used on the vehicle. The molded construction and OE-style component integration make it a direct replacement choice for cooling system service on the Explorer.

This part cross-references Dayco 73073 for the same application. The Gates Molded Coolant Hose line is built around vehicle-specific assemblies that incorporate the hose shape and integrated connection points required by the original cooling system design.

Common Cooling System Issues It May Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged lower radiator hose
• Loss of coolant from worn quick-connect fittings
• Improper hose routing after cooling system repair
• Heat-related hose deterioration in EPDM-based coolant lines
• Fitment problems when replacing an OE-style modular hose assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s lower hose routing, W/P.T.O. configuration, and connector style before installation. Inspect mating surfaces, clips, and seals for wear or contamination, and confirm the hose follows the original path without twist or tension. Because this is a molded modular coolant hose, correct alignment of the quick-connect fittings is important for a secure installation on the Ford Explorer cooling system.

Quality Assurance

Gates is a recognized supplier in the modular coolant hose segment, and this hose is manufactured to application-specific OE-style requirements for the listed Ford Explorer fitment.
