  Hose Assembly, KM4495

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford upper radiator hose for the 99-03 Super Duty F-250 and F-350 and the Excursion with the 7.3L Power Stroke diesel in the single-alternator configuration. The upper hose carries hot coolant from the engine to the top of the radiator, so it is a primary part of the cooling circuit and must withstand the pressure, heat, and vibration of a hard-working diesel. A hose that is swollen, cracked, soft, or weeping at the ends is a common cause of coolant loss and overheating, and a sudden failure can leave the engine without coolant flow, so timely replacement is important on these diesels. This genuine Ford hose is molded to the original routing and end geometry so it clears the accessory layout of the single-alternator setup and seats correctly on the engine and radiator necks without kinking. It is the correct Motorcraft hose for this application rather than a generic universal piece that may not match the bends. During installation, drain the cooling system, fit the hose with fresh clamps, refill with the specified coolant, and bleed the system before returning to service. Confirm the application against your specific 7.3L configuration before ordering, since hose routing differs between single- and dual-alternator setups.
