I have a 2005 f150 4.6 and just installed a new aluminum radiator hose. Everything was direct bolt up minus the bottom hose outlet is to small. Is there a different hose with a larger radiator side. The hose now is about the same size as the new outlet. Thanks in advance. My first f150 so I'm learning

 

I'm confused... Pic's please.

 

Ok so my original radiator was 1.77 inches top waster port. I believe 1.67 on lower port. My newer radiator has both ports at 1.77 inches aka same as the top so I need a lower hose that still hooks to block side the same but radiator side from 1.67 to the 1.77 inch

 

I thought they were the same, sorry

 

Unfortunately I did too and found out differently lol.

 

Any updates to this? Seems the hoses are both listed at 1.75" ID. I may be in the market for a new radiator. Where did you get an all aluminum one and is it working out so far?

 

Very nice unit from amazon. I was able to force a new hose over the lower outlet although wrong size. Otherwise direct bolt up. 359 at advance auto for a stock plastic pos. Or this for 206.00. Temp had a noticeable drop
