Replacing lower radiator hose

Any advice or instructions on the steps to replacing the lower radiator hose on a 2003 f-250 6.0? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Not much to it. You might want to be prepared for a bath even if you drain the radiator first. Just make sure of the clearance between the hose and the steering linkage when you get done as there is more than one hose for the 03 trucks. I would recommend the OEM even if it is a little more.

Yea make sure the engine is cool, because you will get a bath. And buy some 50/50 or regular coolant to make up for the loss. Just a guess but 3-4 gallons should do it.
