Gates #19812 for (1" ID x 32 11/16" long) to reservoir.
3/8" ID x 16" for 3/8 ID radiator to reservoir.

NAPA or O'reilley should stock them. Tell them to look in catalog if not in confuser.

The EX is a 2000. The hoses have never been changed. Doing some maintenance so it doesn't burst while I am on the road. I do not drive my EX much. Stays in the garage and only comes out to go on trips or haul the boat. Thanks for the help guys.

Oh almost forgot. Is there a manual of some sort that I can purchase to assist with maintenance and repairs?

on your 2000 your lower hose has a tee with a hose going to the engine oil cooler... they are clamped with plastic clamps that can break but are also glued to the fitting... the one from ford (OEM) does seem to be of better quality than the ones from a third party supplier...
