Description
Silicone radiator hose kit for the 04-08 Ford F-150 V8 provides reliable coolant routing and reduced risk of coolant loss by replacing aging rubber hoses before they fail.
This Mishimoto kit addresses the common failure mode described in the product notes: rubber under-hood components harden and degrade over time, eventually allowing coolant to leak. Replacing degraded hoses with a direct hose kit restores proper coolant containment and helps prevent roadside breakdowns related to coolant loss.
Why silicone hoses matter
Silicone construction resists the progressive deterioration that affects older rubber hoses. That resistance maintains hose shape and sealing surfaces under normal engine heat cycles, which helps retain coolant pressure and prevents the puddles and cooling-system failures described in the original product text.
Fit and function
Designed specifically for the 2004–2008 Ford F-150 with the V8 engine, this kit replaces the factory rubber radiator hoses to restore secure coolant connections. Installation returns the cooling system to proper routed flow and helps eliminate leak paths caused by cracked, swollen, or softened OEM hoses.
Brand
This kit is supplied by Mishimoto, a brand noted in the product information for aftermarket cooling components and replacement hose assemblies.
