I’m having trouble finding hose 1l5e-18465-ad

that goes from the the heater core piping to a steel nipple coming off the intake manifold 02ranger 4.0

 

Welcome to the forum

You may have to make your own, Ford usually stops carrying parts for vehicle over 15 years old

If the connections are different sizes then you will need 2 pre-made hoses with the correct bends, and then a metal reducer/adapter to connect them

The 4.0l SOHC engine was used until 2011 in Rangers.........................so a 2011 hose may be available and may work

1l5e-18465-ad is a 2001 part number, the 1 at the start = 2001, L5 = Ranger, Ford dealer should be able to see if there was a change or if later number can work

 

Thanks
ford can order the hose about a week or so out I was hoping I could find an aftermarket direct replacement but I think I’ll end up using universal coolant rated line as the fuel hose I used as a temp fix does not look like it will last
