Gates 02-16 Ford Super Duty Van V-8 5.4L Lower Molded Coolant Hose

This is the lower molded coolant hose from Gates, part number 23667. It's made specifically for Ford E-Series vans equipped with the 5.4L V8 engine, covering model years from 2002 through 2016. This hose is a direct replacement for the original, helping to ensure your engine stays at the right temperature by allowing coolant to flow properly from the radiator to the engine block.

Gates uses a well-built construction for this hose, featuring a heat-resistant EPDM rubber cover and tube that can handle the high temperatures and pressures found in your cooling system. The molded shape means it follows the exact routing of your factory hose, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force a universal hose into place. This attention to form factor is important because a kinked or improperly routed hose can restrict coolant flow, leading to overheating issues.

When you're replacing your coolant hose, it's a good time to inspect the rest of your cooling system. Check your radiator, water pump, and other hoses for any signs of wear or leaks. Having the right hose is key to keeping your van running reliably, especially if you rely on it for work or hauling.
