Gates 18-20 Ford F Series V-8 5.0L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This is the upper molded coolant hose from Gates, specifically made for 2018 through 2020 Ford F-Series trucks equipped with the 5.0L V8 engine. This hose is a direct replacement for your original, carrying coolant from the engine to the radiator to help keep your engine from overheating. When your coolant hose starts to crack or leak, it's a serious issue that can leave you stranded, so replacing it with a well-built part like this Gates hose is a smart move.

Gates uses a special EPDM rubber compound for their molded coolant hoses, which is known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant chemicals. This means the hose is built to last and won't break down prematurely under the hood. The molded shape ensures it follows the factory routing precisely, making installation straightforward without any awkward bending or kinking that could restrict flow. Having the correct shape is key for proper fit and function, preventing stress on the hose and connection points.
