What is the main function of the upper radiator hose?

The upper radiator hose carries hot coolant from the engine to the radiator. The radiator then cools the fluid before it circulates back to the engine.

Does this hose come with clamps?

What type of coolant should I use with this hose?

Product Details

When you're tackling a cooling system job on your 1986-1989 Ford Aerostar with the V-6 3.0L engine, replacing the upper radiator hose is often a key step. This molded coolant hose from Gates is built to match the original equipment specifications, ensuring a proper fit and reliable performance for your vehicle's cooling system.

Gates uses durable materials in their hoses to resist heat and the corrosive effects of coolant. This molded design means it follows the specific bends and curves needed to connect your engine to the radiator without kinking or collapsing, which is crucial for maintaining proper coolant flow. A collapsed hose can quickly lead to overheating, so having a well-made replacement is important for keeping your engine running at the right temperature.

This hose is designed as a direct replacement, meaning it should install without any special modifications. Make sure to check your manufacturer's instructions for any specific installation details or recommended coolant types.
