Description
The Mishimoto Silicone Radiator Hose Kit (MMHOSE-X35T-18BK) is a black, five-layer silicone upper and lower radiator hose set built specifically for the 3.5L EcoBoost-powered Ford Expedition and F-150 lineup. Designed to get ahead of the cracked, leak-prone rubber hoses that come stock, this kit trades the factory plastic connectors for CNC-machined aluminum and stainless steel fittings rated to handle up to 330°F. It’s a proactive cooling system upgrade for anyone tired of finding coolant puddles under the truck.
As part of Mishimoto’s Cooling catalog, this silicone radiator hose kit is constructed from five layers of silicone embedded with heat-resistant fibers, giving it substantially greater tolerance to heat and pressure than the rubber hoses it replaces. The upper hose uses a CNC-machined aluminum connector while the lower hose features a stainless steel connector with a quick-disconnect fitting, both engineered for long-term, leak-free operation. The kit ships with high-quality worm-gear clamps for straightforward installation and is offered in black or red — this listing is the black version. Every Mishimoto hose kit is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, so once it’s installed you shouldn’t have to think about your radiator hoses again.
