  Motorcraft™ Upper Hose, Hose Assembly

• Description:

  This is the genuine Ford Motorcraft radiator coolant hose, part number KM-5070, for 6.8L V10 gasoline applications. The molded hose routes engine coolant between the radiator and the engine's cooling circuit, allowing the radiator to dissipate heat and hold the V10 at its correct operating temperature under the high thermal loads these large-displacement engines generate. It is built from reinforced EPDM rubber formed to the exact contours of the application, with molded bends that clear surrounding components and preformed ends that seal at the radiator and engine fittings. Coolant hoses degrade with heat and age, becoming hard and brittle or soft and swollen, and a compromised hose can seep at the ends, blister, or split, producing coolant loss, engine overheating, a low coolant condition, coolant smell, or puddles under the vehicle. Fitting the correct molded Ford hose restores proper coolant flow and a secure seal at both connections. During service, inspect the radiator necks, clamps, and coolant condition, refill with the specified Ford coolant, and bleed air from the cooling system so the engine reaches and maintains normal temperature. The molded Motorcraft hose provides the exact diameter, length, and routing geometry the 6.8L cooling system requires, avoiding the chafing, kinking, or poor sealing common with universal replacement hose.

• Applications: 5.4L, 6.8L.
