Gates 97-15 Ford Super Duty Van V-8 5.4L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This molded upper coolant hose from Gates is built to fit a range of Ford E-Series vans equipped with the 5.4L V8 engine, covering model years from 1997 through 2015. It's designed to replace the original hose, ensuring proper coolant flow to your engine. The molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, which can make installation much simpler than trying to bend and secure a universal hose.

Gates uses heat-resistant rubber compounds in their hoses, similar to what the original equipment uses. This helps the hose stand up to the high temperatures found in the engine bay and the constant pressure from the cooling system. Because it's a direct-fit part, you can expect it to connect securely to your radiator and engine water neck without needing any special modifications.

This hose is a solid option for replacing a cracked or leaking upper radiator hose on your Ford E-150, E-250, or E-350 van. It's always a good idea to check the condition of your lower hose and thermostat at the same time you're replacing the upper one, as these components often wear out together.
