Product Details

Gates Molded Coolant Hose 51852 is part of the brand’s modular coolant hose line, which is built around application-specific fitment and OE-style integrated components. This hose is shaped for the lower connector-to-engine position on the Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty, helping maintain the original routing and connection layout used in the cooling system. The molded EPDM and plastic construction is designed for coolant exposure, while the branch-and-port configuration supports the factory-style hose path. If you are replacing a worn or damaged radiator coolant hose on a 2017-2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty or 2017-2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty, Gates 51852 provides a direct-fit replacement option. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 5399272, F11316) for the same application.

Common Problems This Hose Can Address

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or deteriorated lower hose
• Improper hose routing after a failed OE-style hose assembly
• Loss of cooling-system integrity at molded connection points
• Fitment issues caused by using a universal hose in a shaped application
• Replacement needs for a damaged connector-to-engine coolant line

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is a 2017-2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty or 2017-2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty with the lower connector-to-engine hose routing before installation. Compare the molded shape, branch locations, and end diameters to the removed hose to verify match-up. Inspect adjoining clamps, connectors, and mating surfaces for wear or contamination before installing the new hose. After installation, refill and bleed the cooling system according to factory service procedures and check for leaks at all connection points.
