Most listings are for the F53 truck and will not fit the F53 motorhome. Different radiator for each application. Your friendly Ford truck dealer can supply them for approx. $45.00 ea. Approx. $25.00 ea. from Motorcraft, through your local parts supply house.Re: 1996 F53 Radiator hose search not going wellThanks for the advice guys. Rock Auto really not much help as they only have a listing for generic F53. Which may or may not fit the motorhome. I did look there and they listed several different upper and lower hoses...all quite different from each other. I ordered the hoses that RLS7201 suggested. Those hose numbers dovetailed nicely into an old thread I found on irv2 and the pics and length look to match what I have. Thanks Again!1996 F53 Radiator hose search not going wellDoes anyone have ANY part numbers for the upper and lower radiator hoses for the 1996 Ford F53 stripped motorhome chassis? I have come up with zero results in this area (including with the local Ford dealership) Turns out there are major differences between the auto parts stores F53 truck and the F53 motorhome chassis. None of the local dealers list the motorhome version. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!Re: Myrtle BeachDave HM That is very odd. What did you find spooky about it?Re: Ocean lakes messWbwood---- I think we all understand here that posting on a forum site does not solve a problem. It merely lets others know that there is a problem.Ocean lakes messHave spent the week in ocean lakes at myrtle beach. This park is completely out of control. The children on golf carts rule the roads from 8:30 pm on....trying to walk the dog is an exercise in simple survival. It is 12:39 and I am parked next to an extremely loud and obnoxious party next door. Security has chosen not to interfere. I will never ever come back here again.Re: Fixing water damage on the old Dodge (pics)I hope he didn't haul the thing off and buy another boat! I was really enjoying this thread.
