Dorman Products have announced the release of 250 new motor vehicle parts, including upgraded engine hoses for 2017-2019 Ford F-250 through F-450 trucks. Dorman says it is producing upgraded engine hoses designed to eliminate the OE plastic connectors that are the most common failure point of that part category.

The newest Dorman OE Fix engine coolant reservoir hose features an aluminum connector to increase reliability, rather than the factory version’s plastic connector. The new hose is engineered to replace failure-prone hoses on 2017-2019 Ford F-250 through F-450 trucks equipped with 6.7L diesel engines.

Additionally, the hose joins two other additions to Dorman’s line of heater hose assemblies, designed to match the fit and function of the original equipment hoses on a combined 2.5 million Ford and General Motors vehicles.
