What is EPDM rubber and why is it used for coolant hoses?

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering. For coolant hoses, this means it can withstand the high temperatures under the hood and the chemical environment of the coolant without breaking down quickly.

Does this hose come with the necessary clamps?

This Gates coolant hose part number 23815 includes the molded hose itself. It does not include installation clamps, which are typically sold separately. You will need to reuse your original clamps or purchase new ones.

How often should I replace my coolant hoses?

Coolant hoses should be inspected regularly for signs of wear like cracking, swelling, or softness. While there's no set mileage, many mechanics recommend replacing them as preventative maintenance around 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or if they show any signs of deterioration.

Product Details

Built with a robust EPDM rubber construction, this Gates upper molded coolant hose is designed to handle the high temperatures and pressures found in the 6.4L Power Stroke diesel engine. It’s specifically shaped to fit the 2008-2010 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks, ensuring a straightforward replacement for your original hose.

This hose replaces the upper radiator hose, a critical component that circulates coolant from the engine to the radiator to keep things from overheating. Over time, these hoses can become brittle, crack, or swell, leading to leaks and potential engine damage. Gates uses a multi-layer construction with reinforcement to resist degradation from coolant chemicals and engine heat, helping to ensure a reliable connection and prevent unexpected failures.

Replacing your coolant hoses is a smart preventative maintenance step, especially on higher-mileage vehicles. This Gates hose is a well-built option that fits right and is made to last, keeping your diesel running cool and strong.
