Very nicely done, sir. I'll be doing this in a couple months.

[@DFWsportsguru]

Same exact vehicle and year. About to do this same repair. So glad i found this video. Ill keep you posted on how it goes

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

Good luck!

[@telsner6988]

Your video was a big help. Saved me $600

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

Glad to help!!

[@bros22715]

Great video. Can you help with the hose routes? Top hose runs to the pump on the single end and then top fittting.on the firewall, but what which metal line does it connect to?

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

4 min in and 7:50 min in shows the hoses.

[@brianyoung6714]

while i agree with you 2600 is too expensive for that repair i dont believe the cost of time, hoses from motocraft and coolant was under 200 people still have to make a living and its not a 200 fix for most people that are not capable of doing their own repairs

[@DarkHorseWhisperer]

I really appreciate this video, thank you! Just completed this repair on a family member's car. The hardest part (besides the 90+ degree heat and extreme humidity) was getting the hoses off. After that it was pretty easy. I was in a time crunch and ended up getting the hoses at my local dealer. They were only $110 a piece, not the $300 a piece that the service center quoted you.

I have this same problem on my 2018 Expedition. Something you said made me think. Could I replace that plastic "y" connector with and aluminum one? Something like the "y" connector from part #626-665

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

I thought about that too. But I still had 30k left on my 100k warranty and didn’t meant to void anything for not using factory replacement parts. Plus the plastic ends are leaking in these things too. Figured while I was in there I’d just do it right.

[@Record0721]

Do you have the two part #’s you used? Great video exactly what I’ve been looking for!! Thank you for posting this!!

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

Thanks. I added the part numbers in the description. Parts used: Rock Auto part numbers: KH1188 & KH914 - Ford Part numbers: JL1Z 18472 B & JL1Z 18472 C - 2 gallons of Anti Freeze.

Thankyou so much! Got left stranded last night got a hole in the T on back hose. Replacing today!

[@workoutrescuewithblakehowe]

Just discovered this exact same issue with my 2019 MAX. Thanks for the video!

[@workoutrescuewithblakehowe]

Took it to the dealer this morning, they confirmed the issue was these hoses. They're replacing now, $950 later. I just don't the time to do this myself so what are ya gonna do? Just disappointing to have this happen on a car with 50kmi.

[@the_crushlife]

Can you help with the hose connections? I know the top hose connects to the top fitting on the firewall and the bottom hose connects to the bottom fitting on the firewall. Which hose connects to which metal line?

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

4 min in and 7:50 min in shows the hoses.

I have a 2019 Expedition and just yesterday I was driving and overheating light popped on the dash. I was crap and limped it to a friends house and checked reservoir and it was empty. Which was weird because I literally had just checked it about a week ago when I changed the oil. So I filled it up and made it home no issues. Went back out about 10 minutes later and noticed a small puddle on front passenger side. I got to looking and it seems it’s wet right below that electrical hub that you disconnected. So I’m guessing I’m having same problem. I’m gonna put some dye in it tomorrow. Were you seeing a puddle in that same area?

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

Yes. Firewall area passenger side.

[@dewaynecollins8718]

I'm going to do this. After you did this did you have any other issues ?

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

Not with the hoses. Sold it while the gettin was good.

[@MikePena-z3b]

Thank you!

[@benkerwood1187]

Took my new to me (2 months) 19 expedition in and they just called me and said heater core hose was leaking. I had dye in it so I already knew that and I really thought I saw some in the oil but they say nothing in the oil. I have a warranty so anxious to see how much they try and charge me. I just had the cam phasers replaced two weeks ago… this thing has been a nightmare.

[@benkerwood1187]

Mine also has 73k miles. Cant believe they have this many problems so soon..

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

It’s been frustrating. Love the car but not the problems. Good luck!

[@benkerwood1187]

@@StoughBrothersOutdoorswe love the car too. Not sure how much we can really trust it going forward. My dealer quoted 580+tax to fix the hoses. So strange yours was so much more.

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

@benkerwood1187 nice! They were quoting 300 per hose then labor on top. I had already researched doing it my self before I got the quote. As soon as they showed be 300 per hose for $60 hoses, we walked out. Crazy.

[@daniel04444]

Doing this today. Appreciate the video as I didn’t know what I’d be diving into today. This helps a lot. Also mine only has 55k miles which surprises me this has already happened.

[@hdcXIII]

Do you have to replace both or can only one be replaced? I’m having the same issue but seems like it’s leaking from the bottom one only.

[@StoughBrothersOutdoors]

Only one of mine was leaking too. Figured I’d do them both while I had everything torn down.
