Gates 22430 lower radiator coolant hose for the 2000-2005 Ford Excursion V8 5.4L and other vehicles carries engine coolant between the radiator and the engine. This Gates radiator coolant hose is a molded, modular assembly with 2 branches, made for specific applications.
Coolant seeping at the hose, cracks or swelling in the rubber, or a hose that collapses can mean it is wearing out. Before you replace it, rule out a loose clamp, a leaking radiator or a water pump leak as the source of the coolant loss. Look over the hose only with the engine off and cool.
It also fits the 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty V8 5.4L and the 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty V8 5.4L, plus many other vehicles.
