Gates 86-92 Ford Taurus V-6 3.0L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

When you're tackling a cooling system refresh on your 1986-1992 Ford Taurus, or perhaps a Mercury Sable or an older Econoline van, replacing the upper radiator hose is often a key step. This molded coolant hose from Gates is shaped specifically to fit the factory routing, making the job straightforward.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is built to handle the constant expansion and contraction cycles that occur as your engine heats up and cools down. The molded shape means you won't have to fight with a stiff, straight hose trying to bend into place, which can sometimes lead to kinks or stress points if not installed carefully. This hose is designed to connect your engine's water pump or thermostat housing to the radiator, ensuring coolant circulates properly to keep your engine from overheating.

This hose is a direct replacement for the original equipment part, so you can be confident it will fit right. Make sure to check your vehicle's service manual for specific installation instructions and any required clamps or coolant.
