Product Details

When your 2004-2008 Ford F-150's 5.4L V-8 starts to overheat, a cracked or leaking upper radiator hose is often the culprit. This molded coolant hose from Gates is built to replace the original part, ensuring a proper fit and reliable coolant flow to keep your engine at the right temperature.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber construction for this hose, similar to what came from the factory. This material is chosen because it can handle the high temperatures and pressure found in your cooling system without degrading quickly. The molded shape means it follows the exact bends and routing of your original hose, making installation straightforward without any awkward kinks or stretches.

Replacing a coolant hose is a pretty standard maintenance item, especially on trucks that have seen a lot of miles. It's a good idea to inspect your hoses regularly for any signs of cracking, swelling, or softness. If you see any issues, swapping it out with a well-made replacement like this Gates hose is a smart move to prevent a breakdown.
