I should have known that buying some cheap hose off of Amazon would come back to bite me.
A split in that cheap hose while on vacation towing an airstream gave me fears of a rupture. Limped home and immediately searched for OEM hose. Found riffrafdiesel and a great price. Took it out of the box, immediately knew I made the right decision. It went on easily and after starting that 7.3 and topping of the radiator to a warmed up engine my smile said it all.
Buy this hose you’ll love it.

Easy to install and more durable than your local auto part store.

Great price on a OEM Motorcraft radiator hose. Picked this up the same time as the water pump and the billet water pump inlet.

Didn't need it, but it was heavily discounted. Extra hoses are always good to keep around.

Original FoMoCo hose. Made in USA. 100% quality you would want/ expect...

Hose worked great and was OEM. Wish it would come with the tension clamps, but looks like Motorcraft no longer includes them on hoses.

Oem hose , outstanding product
