Lower rad hose

[MonsterBIlly]

I have a newer engine with a serp belt set up. I am looking for the best lower radiator hose I can get to fit the stock style rad. I have heard there is a super duty hose that fits well but don't know what years or which engine.
If one of you has that info can you share it. My flex metal hose with the rubber ends is constantly dripping.

Thanks

I used a Gates 22690. It’s the lower hose for a Super Duty with the 7.3L. There are 2 different hoses available for that rig, so make sure it’s the one for the straight outlet, not the curved one. I had to cut and turn the hose and trim quite a bit off the ends. I used this coupler with some hose clamps.

Using that adapter above, I went silicone hose, not much more expensive, but I hate all the clamps I need.
