It’s easy took me 3 days to get hoses off and the video he puts hoses back wrong another day to get back on with big hands use grease on fittings makes super easy new fittings are easier to get off doorman parts
Bought my 04 F-150 XLT used (80,000 mi) Kept indoors...almost mint cond. (slight wear on drivers seat, otherwise like new. A lot of these F-150's experienced pine holes in radiator. I replaced my work truck's radiator but the prior owner of this used truck used "stop-leak" to fix his. NEVER do that! It plugged the heater core... and caused the heat temp sending unit to fail. Had to lift the intake manifold to replace the heat sensor and a good back flush solved the heater problem.
I noticed in the video that you put the hoses back on the heater core side in the opposite sides of where they were when you took them off. Not sure if it really matters but I'm assuming that it was intentional and was curious as to why.?
Thank you for sharing this video! I was able to fix my truck quickly. I have a porous hose about six inches long that attaches to a sort of breather hose on top and rear of the engine near the back IAC. Any thoughts?
Can anyone help me? At 0:05 there is a metal pipe/hose with a plastic clamp on it below the 2 heater core hoses that has come loose on my brother's truck. Does anyone know the technical name or where this goes to ? When it came off coolant blew everywhere
For some reason the return tube i have is in place now , the o rings that were on the knub that comes out of the back side of the water pump the ones that were oni put grease an still they broke apart , put 2 a little smaller an that worked . The hose from firewall to the tube looks to be a little short i don't know why . If anyone knows please give me a idea if possible . I feel like it's almost there with getting it finally finished .
I have the exact same problem on my 2007 f150. My question is did you have to replace the second hose? the first one you removed is the same on that broke on mine, but I was hoping to just replace that hose connector.
I bent the left outlet on the heater core the ring is now oval shaped it leaks have it bypassed for now is there anyway to save it instead of replacing the whole thing?? I’m in south texas so still have hot weather till December but definitely need it
Aloha thanks for the video please make a disclosure that you put hoses on backwards I followed your video. D cussed you the whole time while swapping back I have big hands I started truck with the wrong configuration from your video and truck over heated very quickly it does make a difference wich way they go please make a disclaimer so know one has to go thru this ordeal ,Mahalo
I do not have an ‘08, but none the less this video showed me enough to confidently tackle the task.

Ya I caught that afterwards too I did switch them back. But I don't think it makes a different. But i just put it the way it came from factory

That's the ac line if that what I think you talking about
Do you use those little black rings ? For the water to not leak?

Hey, next time, please do not put music on your videos !! , when one is seen this repairs the last thing one wants to hear is music !!
Ok, I'll take that into consideration. But it's kinda boring if I'm not talking the whole.
Turn the music down just a little thanks

Ya you an save it you'll need to fine something that the same size but taper to stick in to reshape it
What is the hose connection next to that one?
Those are the ac lines
is that one on left side on the firewall the inlet or outlet hose?
What motor?????
Hey bro, can you tell me where you ordered your replacement hose from? Auto zone? Ford? eBay?
I got them from autozone
Thanks datwestcoast helped a datmidwest shade tree mechanic thanks again fixing that found on the road dead ford
Why is there music playing the whole time?
Will a 2006 F-150 , 5.4 be the same ?
Yes I believe so that mode was from 04 to 08
