Gates 02-97 Ford Expedition V8 5.4L Lower Coolant Hose

This is the lower radiator hose for your 1997-2002 Ford Expedition with the 5.4L V8 engine. It connects the bottom of the radiator to the water pump, circulating coolant to keep your engine from overheating. A worn-out hose can lead to leaks and serious engine damage, so replacing it is a smart move when you see cracks or feel softness.

Gates makes this hose from a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound, which is pretty standard for coolant hoses because it holds up well to the hot coolant and the engine bay environment. It's built to handle the pressures and temperatures your Expedition's cooling system operates under. You'll find it fits right into place, making the replacement job straightforward. Just make sure to get the clamps tightened properly to prevent any leaks.
