Gates 11-16 Ford Super Duty V-8 6.7L Diesel Upper Molded Coolant Hose

What you get with this Gates 23981 coolant hose is the upper molded hose specifically made for your 2011-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty with the 6.7L diesel engine. This hose is a direct replacement for the original, meaning it's shaped to connect your engine's thermostat housing to the radiator without any fuss.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant rubber compound for these hoses, which is important because the coolant system runs hot and under pressure. The molded shape ensures it follows the factory routing precisely, avoiding kinks or rubbing that could cause a leak. This helps maintain proper coolant flow, which is key to keeping your 6.7L Power Stroke engine running at the right temperature, especially under heavy loads or during long drives.

Replacing a coolant hose is a good idea if you see any cracks, swelling, or leaks, or as part of routine maintenance on a diesel. This hose is designed to fit right, making the job straightforward for a DIYer or a shop.
