Hey everyone, Bear with me I'm not a mechanic but I can do basic things haha! Anyway, I have a 1991 4.9l f150. This hose finally after 22 years decided to flop out on me, my truck is still driveable but the temperature gauge goes up a tiny bit and antifreeze leaks everywhere lol but its not a huge hole so I drove it the 4 miles I needed to in order to get home.

So what's the name of the hose and how exactly does it come off and go back on? I see it's crimped or something, idk. Thanks!

Also, I got this pic off of Google Images.

 

No Idea what it's for, I have a 351. But it looks as if you can remove the entire hose assembly and fabricate a new one? Buy the correct diameter hose, a barbed "tee" fitting and some clamps. Cut hose to length, clamp it in and done. I'm assuming that at all three ends of the hose it is clamped.

 

No they aren't clamped they have another silver thing that looks like they're crimped. Idk what to do lol.

 

follow the other end it looks like the heater hose that goes to the throttle body....

 

It actually comes from the radiator.. it's a straight hose from the radiator to where you see in the pic.

 

Remove all three hoses that make up that tee shaped assembly, then make up a new one

 

Dude, cut the crimped piece off and use hose clamps. The factory uses those because they're cheaper.

 

Alright I'll figure it out. Thanks everyone

 

Sean taught me about that hose, it goes from the tee to a nipple on the radiator neck, its for bleeding air out of the system.
