  Motorcraft™ Upper Hose, Hose Radiator

• Description:

  The Motorcraft KM-5114 is the upper radiator coolant hose for the 2011-2014 Ford F-150 equipped with the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine. This molded hose carries hot coolant from the engine's thermostat housing outlet to the top of the radiator, where heat is shed before the coolant recirculates through the block and cylinder heads. Because it sits on the pressurized hot side of the cooling system, the upper hose endures the highest temperatures and constant thermal cycling, which over time causes the rubber to harden, crack, delaminate internally, or swell and soften near the clamp connections. Drivers who need this part are often chasing a coolant leak at the radiator neck, steam or a sweet coolant smell from under the hood, low coolant level warnings, or overheating that worsens at highway speed. Replacing a marginal hose during routine service prevents a sudden rupture that can strand the truck and risk head gasket damage from overheating. This is a genuine Ford Motorcraft molded hose built to the exact bends, diameter, and reinforcement of the factory original, so it seats correctly against the radiator and thermostat outlet without the fit problems common to universal replacements. Inspect the mating necks and hose clamps for corrosion, use fresh Motorcraft specification coolant, and burp the system to remove air pockets after installation. Confirm your engine is the 5.0L V8 before ordering, as other F-150 engines of this generation use different hose routing.

• Applications: 5.0L.
