Gates 15-17 Ford F Series V-6 3.5L Lower Molded Coolant Hose

This Gates molded coolant hose is constructed from EPDM rubber, a material known for its resistance to heat and coolant degradation. It's specifically shaped to fit the lower radiator outlet on 2015 through 2017 Ford F-Series trucks equipped with the 3.5L V-6 engine. A properly functioning lower radiator hose is crucial for maintaining your engine's operating temperature by allowing coolant to flow from the radiator back to the engine block.

Gates designs these hoses to match the original equipment specifications, ensuring a direct fit without the need for modifications. The molded shape follows the exact bends and curves of the factory hose, preventing kinks or restrictions that could impede coolant flow. This attention to detail helps ensure consistent performance and helps prevent premature hose failure, which can lead to overheating and potential engine damage.

When replacing your coolant hose, it's a good idea to inspect the hose clamps and consider replacing them as well, as they can also degrade over time and lead to leaks.
