Gates 99-03 Ford Windstar V-6 3.8L Reservoir To Rad. Molded Heater Hose

This molded heater hose from Gates is built to connect your reservoir to the radiator on your 1999-2003 Ford Windstar with the 3.8L V-6 engine. It’s specifically shaped to follow the factory routing, making installation straightforward and ensuring it won’t rub against other components.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber compound for the inner tube and cover, which is reinforced with polyester cord. This construction helps the hose stand up to the constant temperature cycling and pressure found in your vehicle’s cooling system, preventing premature cracking or swelling. Because it’s a molded hose, it offers a more secure and cleaner installation compared to universal cut-to-fit hoses.

Replacing a heater hose is a good idea if you notice leaks, coolant smells inside the cabin, or if the hose feels brittle or spongy. This Gates hose is designed to fit right, so you can get your Windstar back on the road with confidence.
