• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford hose assembly for the 3.0L Duratec V6 engine used in the first generation Escape and its Mercury Mariner counterpart, cataloged simply as Hose Assy under Ford base number 6748B and illustrated in the engine coolant and water pump group. It is a short molded hose assembly in the engine coolant circuit, supplied as a complete unit with its formed shape and end fittings so it routes correctly against the block and the surrounding accessory hardware without kinking or chafing. Verified fitment is 2001 through 2006 Ford Escape and 2005 through 2006 Mercury Mariner with the 6 cylinder 3.0L DOHC EFI engine, in two wheel drive and four wheel drive form, with the CD4E automatic or the five speed manual transaxle. Buyers reach for this hose when they are chasing a coolant leak that shows up as a slow drip and crusty green or orange residue at a hose end, when the rubber has gone hard, glazed, or checked with age and swells or weeps under pressure, when the coolant level keeps falling with no obvious external puddle, or when the engine runs hot because a collapsed or restricted hose is throttling flow. Age is usually the culprit on these engines rather than any single event. Replace with the engine cold, capture and dispose of the old coolant properly, use new clamps or retainers where the originals are corroded or distorted, refill and bleed the cooling system per the Ford procedure, and check for leaks at operating temperature.
