Product Details

This Gates lower radiator hose is built with a strong, EPDM rubber construction that can handle the heat and pressure your 351 V8 engine generates. It's designed to fit the specific needs of 1977-1979 Ford F-Series trucks equipped with the 351 V8 engine, ensuring a proper seal and efficient coolant flow. A reliable coolant hose is crucial for keeping your engine from overheating, especially during demanding tasks or in hot weather.

Gates uses a multi-layer construction with reinforced fibers to give this hose the durability it needs for heavy-duty applications. This means it's less likely to crack or collapse under vacuum, which can lead to cooling system failure. The flexible design also helps make installation easier, allowing it to navigate around other engine components without kinking. This hose is a solid option for anyone looking to replace a worn-out or leaking lower radiator hose on their classic Ford truck.

This hose is designed for a direct fit on many Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 60s through the early 90s, including models like the Ford F-150, Ford Bronco, and Mercury Marquis. Always double-check the fitment guide to confirm it's the right part for your specific vehicle.
