  Hose Radiator, KM5406

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford lower radiator coolant hose for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and Explorer-based Police Interceptor Utility with the non-turbocharged 3.5L or 3.7L V6 engine. Ford catalogs it as a Lower Hose or Radiator Coolant Hose; the molded rubber hose carries engine coolant from the bottom of the radiator back to the engine, completing the cooling circuit so the water pump can circulate coolant and keep operating temperature in check. This is the without-turbo application and is offered for configurations with the engine oil cooler on Explorer builds and specific trailer-tow and power-take-off variations, so engine and build details matter. Owners replace this hose when they find coolant leaks or drips under the front of the vehicle, a low coolant level, engine overheating, a sweet coolant smell, or when the hose has become soft, swollen, cracked, hardened, or collapsed with age and heat cycling. A weeping hose end or a failed clamp connection at the radiator or engine outlet is a common cause. Installation involves draining the coolant, removing the old hose from the radiator and engine fittings, and seating the new molded hose fully on both connections with the clamps secured before refilling with the correct Ford-specified coolant and bleeding the cooling system of air. This is the non-turbo variant, so verify that your Explorer does not have the EcoBoost turbocharged engine before ordering and confirm the oil cooler and tow options. As a genuine Ford hose it matches the original molded shape, routing, and material for a correct, leak-free fit.

• Applications: 3.5L. 3.7L.
