Title: Heater Hose Replacement
Post by: sansabar on November 01, 2006, 07:44:09 AM
I need to replace the molded heater hoses (both coming from the core) on my 88 5.0.  My shop manual shows one having the temperature control unit inline - but mine is on the manifold. I'm having trouble getting the right part #'s.  Most are 5/8" 90 degrees or cut to fit but these replacements need to bend 4 or 5 different ways. I can get the Ford # off of one of the hoses (same # as in the shop manual) but not the other.

Does anyone have a good resource to get the right part the first time?

Take the hoses off and take them to the parts store with you. Also if you can't find the right ones makes some. With stright hose and some of those gates uni fit coils. They are rings that go over the hose so you can bend it and it won't colapse. you can make 90* bends or more or less with these. Most parts stores should be able to get you the right hoses.

Thanks, y'all.  That's what I needed.  I would normally have taken them off but anything I ask for will have to be ordered - sight unseen.  These part #s will get it done.
