I'm getting ready to replace the heater core in my 1993 E250. While I'm in there I'd like to replace the inlet/outlet hoses.
Does anyone know the part numbers for those 2 hoses? I'm not finding it online and I'd like to get the correct part and not a cut to fit universal hose.
Rock auto looks like they have most options. It is engine dependent, and also matters if you have rear heat. Look under Heater and AC —> heater hoses and pipes.
If that year used the Ford Quick Disconnect fittings and the OEM hoses aren't available Dorman makes a decent line of those fittings, not overly expensive either. With those you would use standard 5/8" or 3/4" heater hose to make your own good quality assemblies.
I've used those several times and have had zero issues with them for at least 3 years or more. Here's an example but there are other sizes and angular configurations available: https://www.dormanproducts.com/gsear...word&q=800-403
Ugh. That was a fun project (core). Did that on my 98 two years ago.
It's definitively a chore! The only real problem I had was learning how the factory quick connectors worked. I finally stumbled on a solution that thankfully didn't damage anything.
These days I have the correct tools, a lot of experience with those fitting and they're still a hassle to deal with!
