1995 Ford F-150 - Radiator Hose

Ford F-Series Radiator Hose

The radiator hoses on your Ford F-Series are part of the cooling system and help to transport coolant. The upper radiator hose carrieshot coolant to the radiator, while the lower radiator hose connects to the water pump, which pulls the coolant back into the engine. Rubber hoses like radiator hoses dry out, crack, become weak, or split over time. This can cause a coolant leak, or if the hose collapses,a lack of coolant movement. These issues can lead to overheating, and even engine failure on your Ford. It is a good idea to inspect the radiator hoses regularly; if you notice a radiator hose leaking, or if it appears to have cracks or splits, the radiator hose should be replaced as soon as possible. Leaks can also be caused by loose radiator hose clamps, so check the condition and tightness of your hose clamps if you suspect a leak. If your Ford F-Series truck needs replacement radiator hoses, belts, clamps, or other cooling-system parts, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries what you need for your engine, so you can keep your truck on the road.
