Gates 01-04 Ford Escape V-6 3.0L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

When you're replacing a worn-out coolant hose on your 2001-2004 Ford Escape with the V-6 3.0L engine, a molded hose like this one from Gates is the way to go. It's shaped specifically to fit the routing of your cooling system, making installation straightforward and ensuring it won't kink or rub against other components.

Gates uses a durable rubber compound that's resistant to heat and coolant chemicals, just like the factory hose. This helps prevent premature cracking or swelling, which are common failure points for older hoses. Because it's a direct fit, you won't have to fight with it to get it into place, and it connects securely to the radiator and engine water outlet.

This hose is designed to handle the pressures and temperatures of your Escape's cooling system, helping to keep your engine running at the right temperature. It's a solid replacement part that gets the job done right.
