ok, i have looked all over the internet and cannot find a braided radiator hose for my 1997 f150 with the 5.4l engine. the I.D. of the hose is 1 3/4 inch. the outside is 2 1/4. the length is right at 28 inches. does anyone have any idea where i can find one?

 

Yeah, that's a tough one. The usual parts providers don't seem to carry those dimensions.

Not sure too if you are looking for a steel braided covering for looks, or a superior product.

If you're looking for real quality, performance and safety then the folks at XRP Xtreme Racecar Plumbing are second to none. If they don't have what you're looking for, or can't make one for your application, they may be able to give you a referral. I'd give them a call.
