Gates 09-10 Ford F Series V-8 4.6L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This molded coolant hose from Gates is specifically made for the 2009 and 2010 Ford F-150 models equipped with the 4.6L V-8 engine. It's designed to replace the original upper radiator hose, which is crucial for circulating coolant between your engine and the radiator to keep things from overheating. Because it's a molded hose, it follows the exact bends and curves of the factory original, ensuring a straightforward installation without any awkward kinks or stretching.

Gates uses a EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. This means it can handle the demanding environment under the hood and last a long time. The reinforcement layers within the hose add strength, helping it maintain its shape and resist collapse even under pressure. This is the kind of part you want when you're replacing a worn-out hose to prevent leaks and keep your engine running at the right temperature.
