2011-2016 Ford F-450 6.8 Engine Heater HoseOEM New
This Genuine OEM Engine Heater Hose, labelled with the part number BC3Z-18472-H, is specifically designed for 2011-2016 Ford F-450 models with a 6.8 engine. The heater hose is an essential component of your vehicle’s cooling system, responsible for transferring hot coolant from the vehicle’s engine to the heater core, thereby maintaining optimal engine temperature. Should your existing heater hose become cracked, clogged, or leaky, replacing it with this new part will restore efficient heat transfer, preventing engine overheating and ensuring the vehicle’s heating system functions effectively.
This product is a brand-new, Genuine OEM part, contained in the original OEM manufacturer’s packaging. It is not an aftermarket product, but the exact same part you would obtain from a new car dealership, guaranteeing it adheres to Ford’s high-quality standards.
