• Description:

  This genuine Ford Motorcraft radiator coolant hose is a molded engine cooling hose for the 2011-2016 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty equipped with the 6.7L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8. It routes engine coolant between the radiator and the engine cooling circuit as part of the main coolant return path, carrying hot coolant under pressure and temperature so the radiator can shed heat and hold the diesel at its correct operating temperature. The hose is built from a Ford-specified reinforced rubber compound molded to the exact bends and length required to clear the engine, turbo plumbing, and chassis without kinking or chafing. A buyer needs this hose when the original is leaking at a coupling or along a bend, seeping coolant, showing soft spots, bulges, cracks, or heat-hardening, or has failed and triggered an overheat or low-coolant condition. On the 6.7L Power Stroke these hoses live in a hot, high-vibration environment and eventually degrade from the inside, so a hose that looks acceptable on the outside may still be near failure. Cataloged as Motorcraft part number KM-5046, it is the correct molded replacement to restore a sealed, leak-free coolant path. When installing, drain and refill the cooling system with the specified Ford coolant, inspect the hose clamps and replace any that are corroded or weakened, and bleed the cooling system per the factory procedure to avoid air pockets that can cause hot spots. Using the OEM-molded hose ensures proper fit and reliable sealing where a universal straight hose cannot follow the factory routing.
