  Motorcraft™ Upper Hose, Hose Radiator

• Description:

  The Motorcraft KM-5306 is a radiator coolant hose for the 2015-2017 Ford F-150 equipped with the 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 engine. It carries engine coolant between the engine and the radiator as part of the truck's cooling circuit, helping shed combustion heat so the aluminum block and heads stay within their designed operating temperature. Cooling hoses endure constant heat cycling and system pressure, and over the years the rubber hardens, develops surface cracks, or turns soft and swollen at the clamp connections, eventually weeping or bursting. A driver shopping for this hose is often dealing with a visible coolant leak, a low coolant or overheating warning, steam or a sweet coolant smell under the hood, or staining along the hose route. Replacing an aging hose during scheduled maintenance is inexpensive insurance against a roadside failure that can overheat the engine and threaten the head gaskets. As a genuine Ford Motorcraft molded hose, the KM-5306 matches the factory bends, diameter, and reinforcement precisely, so it seats correctly and seals without the compromises of universal hoses. After installation, refill with Motorcraft specification coolant, check the clamps and mating necks for corrosion, and bleed the system to eliminate air pockets. Verify the 5.0L V8 application before ordering, since other engines route coolant differently.

• Applications: 5.0L.
