  Motorcraft™ Lower Hose, Hose Radiator

• Description:

  This Motorcraft lower radiator coolant hose returns cooled coolant from the bottom tank of the radiator back to the water pump inlet, completing the circuit that keeps engine temperature in check. Molded from heat and pressure resistant EPDM rubber to the factory shape, it resists the vacuum collapse and heat cycling that degrade an aging original hose. It fits 2017 through 2020 Ford F-150 and 2018 through 2021 Ford Expedition in the lower radiator position. Drivers usually look for this part after spotting coolant dripping near the water pump or radiator, watching the temperature gauge climb, topping off a reservoir that keeps going low, or finding the old hose soft, cracked, oil-swollen, or collapsing under suction at higher engine speeds. Because the lower hose sees strong pump suction, a weak or perished hose can starve coolant flow and cause overheating even when it is not visibly leaking. Catalogued by Motorcraft as Radiator Coolant Hose KM-5485. Replace with new clamps, refill with the correct Ford specification coolant, and bleed the system to clear air pockets before returning the truck to service.

• Applications: 3.5L.
