Gates 98-97 Ford F Series Pickup V8 5.4L Lower Coolant Hose

When you're working on your 1997 or 1998 Ford F-150 with the V8 5.4L engine, this lower coolant hose from Gates is what you'll need to replace a worn-out or leaking original. This hose is a direct replacement, meaning it's made to fit your truck's cooling system specifically, carrying coolant from the radiator to the engine block. Keeping your cooling system in good shape is key to preventing overheating, especially on these trucks.

Gates is a well-known name in cooling system parts, and this hose is built to handle the pressures and temperatures found in your F-150's engine bay. It's made from rubber compounds that resist degradation from heat and coolant chemicals, so you can expect it to last. Replacing a coolant hose is a pretty straightforward job for most DIYers, usually just requiring some basic tools and a bit of coolant to top off afterward.
