Lower radiator hose
Anybody have an idea where I can obtain the correct lower radiator hose for my 1995 Bronco, 5.8L, Auto, with trailer tow package? There is a tee in the main hose with a feed and return that goes to a factory oil cooler attached to the block at the oil filter base. Non or the parts shops have the CORRECT hose for this application. I know the cooler is OE because I ordered and took delivery of the truck new. Thanks!

Lower radiator hose
Here's a thought..... it may very well not apply, so take it with a grain of salt. I had a trailer towing package on an F-150 once, and could not get the proper radiator hoses from the parts houses to save my life. I discovered through trial and error that the "optional" 4-inch thick radiator in the truck, for the given engine (a 351), was standard in the F250. After this, every time I ordered anything to do with the radiator (hoses, fan shroud, etc.), I ordered for the same year and engine, but an F250 instead. Have you checked the application for a heavier duty pickup of your same year and engine? I realize you have a Bronco, but the radiator support should be the same. Maybe just what you're looking for came stock on the F250 or F350......

If he didn't find the right hose by now, he's been walking for a year and a half!

Haha, I posted on this exact subject on another board. For those that will need to replace this hose soon I could only find it at the Ford dealer at about $100 cdn. Gates doesnt make it and couldnt find it elsewhere. Figure its time to replace the hose after 6/7 yrs before it busts.

I replaced both of the lower hoses (there are 2 pieces), and got them from Pep Boys. They had both in stock, and I think that together, they ran about $35-$40. That was two years ago that I did this repair.
