  Motorcraft™ Lower Hose, Hose Radiator

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford Motorcraft lower radiator coolant hose, part number KM-5078, for 2011-2014 F-150 trucks equipped with the 5.0L V8 engine. The lower hose carries cooled coolant from the bottom of the radiator back into the engine, completing the circuit that lets the radiator shed heat and hold the 5.0L at its correct operating temperature. It is molded from reinforced EPDM rubber to the exact routing of the 5.0L application, with preformed bends that clear the accessory drive and front cover and shaped ends that seal at the radiator outlet and engine connection. With age and repeated heat cycling, coolant hoses harden and crack or soften and swell, and a failing lower hose can leak at the clamps, balloon under pressure, or rupture, causing coolant loss, overheating, a low coolant warning, coolant odor, or drips beneath the front of the truck. Replacing a deteriorated lower hose with the correct molded Ford part restores dependable coolant flow and a leak-free seal at both ends. Inspect the radiator outlet neck, clamps, and coolant condition during installation, refill with the specified coolant, and bleed the cooling system to purge trapped air so the engine reaches and maintains normal temperature. The molded Motorcraft hose delivers the exact length, diameter, and bend geometry the 5.0L system requires for a correct factory fit.

• Applications: 5.0L.
