Ford 6.4 Powerstroke. Coolant leak radiator hose replace. 

Ron, Rest in Peace. Your video helped me today locating a leak that I have on my F350 6.4.

This was extremely helpful

Great video - thanks! I've had a leak for a long time and now I finally realize what is causing it.

Best instructional video on this topic out there. Straight to points and good camera work as well. Made it possible to do mine in the garage instead paying the shop. Thanks a million!@

Even in passing you are still helping us out ron!

Ron, I just want to thank you for this and the other videos you make. I just changed both my lower hoses on my 450 6.4 in about 2 hours using your video as a guide. I'm not enough of a mechanic to figure out the great "shortcuts and tricks" that you have. It sure saved me some bucks. I had a local shop do the upper hose a couple weeks ago. They charged $129 for the hose and $80 in labor for diag and repair. Thanks again. Next to tackle a true flush. BTW I used the Airlift II and it was a breeze. (No pun intended.)

Thanks for the video in a language that was clear to understand got done and kept a few dollars in my pocket I appreciate your help!!!

Ron this the information that I needed. I've had this 2010 F250 6.4L for two years and it has clamps that I have never seen before. So, I plan to copy your homemade Pick tool for getting the clamp off! This is so helpful, because the bottom hose is really difficult to get to. Thanks for the Vid. 40 years of Doing It Myself and going strong!

Thank you sir. I was able to fix the upper hose just ad you showed on the video. Bless you...I was able to save some money doing it myself.

Thanks for your 6.4 videos I appreciate it!

Great man RIP Ron

Thanks 4 share n avoided a headache

Thanks for the write-up! It was helpful to view prior to changing my lower hose this morning on my 2010 F250. I have had it since new. I am not sure why but my top hose already had the white end. The bottom hose had the black end. Maybe the dealer replaced it at some point but I guess it's possible I got it that way. All done and no more dripping or leaks :-)

Thank you for making it so understanding for us not so tech smart!!!

You can also weld a half inch 1 inch bar on the bottom of your custom made screw driver so it doesn't get in your view very clever mate.

Thanks for the clear concise video

Very nice job

"get mediaeval on it" love ot

Thanks!

Just want to be sure I'm about to replace the right part. The radiator hose is leaking and if you are under the truck it's the left side so from above the right side of the radiator. Is that the upper radiator hose? 2008 F350 6.4 turbo diesel.

Ron, great vides. However I recommend you invest in a wireless microphone. It can be very difficult to hear you

Ron, I have a late model 2010 6.4. I have the white end as shown in your video on the upper radiator hose. Is it possible for those to create a leak? I stuck a camera in underneath that hose and it is for sure leaking.

LOL...old guy calls "clips = rings = clamps" now "Get Medieval on it"

do you have the part numbers for the motorcraft hoses

Great Vid. Got the part numbers for the hoses with the dual o-ring design?

Hi Ron, I want to thank you for your videos! I am getting ready to drain and do a cleaner flush my 6.4L coolant at 75K. What would you say is the best way to do the draining, is it drain at radiator until stops then unbuckle the lower radiator hose where the 2 come together? I will need to do this multiple times with the flushes so I want to have the most efficient way possible, as well as drain the most out every time ( to include drivers side engine block. I really don't want to have to get behind the starter for the other one) My truck developed a coolant leak at the old hoses at 30K miles and had the hose updated then, I should be able to reuse these hoses correct? Also is there a way to be able to get the thermostats out without having to remove battery and Degas tank? Any tips will be helpful. Or a video on how to do this. Again thank you for your great tips and videos.

im looking for any advice anyone can give me on waterloss on 2008 ford f350 diesel possibly egr related ????? thanks

Ron, if I replace both hoses on my 2009 F250. Do I need to use the Heavy Duty Airlift II radiator refilled tool or can I just add 50/50 coolant. Thanks

Hi ron I have a 2003 6.0 crank no start ICP builds to 1880 IPR 54 ficm sync 1, ficm47.5 I don't know what else to do chanfed fuel filters, ICP and pigtail

Hey man 2 questions, do you have a link to where I can buy those two hoses from? Need to do this on my 6.4 as the lower one is leaking where the 2 hoses join together. Also, did you drain all the coolant before doing this?

Does the gates one have double o-ring?

Dam i hate working on ford

between the government and the manufacturers they have built the trucks where they are most impossible to work on, cost 10x too much, and dont last at all!!!!!

seeing the coolant dripping down on camera made me take it to the dealer. Coolant in my eyes isn't worth saving $1000.

Very nice job
