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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Cooling System Issues It May Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant leaks from a cracked or aged lower radiator hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of coolant from worn quick-connect fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproper hose routing after cooling system repair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-related hose deterioration in EPDM-based coolant lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment problems when replacing an OE-style modular hose assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGates 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45310052204725,"sku":"BBSC-24423","price":94.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/ZO_24423_Top.jpg?v=1775146420","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/gates-24423-radiator-coolant-hose","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
