Dorman 626-522 HVAC Heater Hose Assembly Compatible with Select Ford / Mercury Models

I got this for my 2010 ford explorer even though it says it does fit my model & it worked perfectly. My mechanic took about 15-20 minutes to get it on as my old one was broken. Still holding strong & it's been about 2 & a half months. Autozone told me I could only get this part from the Ford dealership & O'Reilly wanted to charge me $80-$100 for this same part. Yeah no, amazon for the win.

The heater hose completely separated at the T junction on my 09 Explorer, dumping water/coolant everywhere. Took a buddy and me about an hour to remove the broken part and get this one installed. It was a tight fit at the bottom and definitely needed a second set of eyes to help guide it on. Not too bad overall and it’s been running perfectly ever since.

So as a typical penny pincher I tried to repair this hose with a plastic T fitting, new hose and clamps. I ordered this part just in case my DIY cheapskate repair failed. Note it failed, I wasted $20 in parts , 2 hours in time and coolant spilled everywhere...I installed this part in less than 20 minutes. The clamps were perfect, no leaks at all...Lessened learned, don't DIY this and just buy this part.

Works great . Direct fit for my 05 explorer . Says only fits 2006 to 2010 but fits my 05 perfectly

It took about an hour to put it on. Had to remove the left front tire. So far it’s working great. The fit was good.

Although Amazon says it doesn't, this will fit a 2003 Ford Explorer. It's either this, or 250 for the whole assembly.

Bought for my 08 explorer Eddie Bauer. Took about an hour to take off the old and put this one on. No more coolant leaks. You need to take off your passenger wheel, and move the wheel well cover to get to the lower connection at the oil cooler fyi

I like that it fit perfect, no issue with installation
