  Hose Radiator, km5351

• Description:

  This genuine Ford radiator coolant hose is the upper molded rubber hose that carries hot engine coolant from the engine outlet to the top of the radiator on the 2016 Ford Explorer, allowing the cooling system to shed heat and keep operating temperature in the correct range. Ford catalogs it as the radiator coolant hose for this application, a pre formed rubber tube shaped with the exact bends and connector ends needed to route around engine accessories and clip to the radiator and engine without kinking. The hose is a known wear item, and heat cycling, coolant chemistry, and age cause the rubber to harden, crack, swell, delaminate internally, or split at the clamp beads. A failing hose shows up as coolant seepage or spray, a low coolant level, sweet smelling steam, engine overheating, or a soft or collapsing hose under throttle. Left unaddressed a burst upper hose loses coolant quickly and can lead to serious overheating damage, so replacement at the first sign of cracking or leakage is recommended. This molded hose is the correct shape and diameter for the 2016 Explorer running change and includes the factory connector and clamp geometry for a leak free fit. Always inspect and replace the hose clamps and refill with the correct specification Ford coolant, then bleed the cooling system of air after installation. Cataloged under Ford part number FB5Z-8260-B.
