Product Description
Mishimoto's solution? Start by making the tank out of stronger and more durable aluminum, then get rid of the quick-disconnect completely. Included with this Mishimoto expansion tank is a CNC-machined coupler and silicone hose. With minimal modification to the stock hose, this kit lets you remove the leak-prone quick-disconnect fitting and clamp on a reliable and lifetime-guaranteed silicone hose.
The Mishimoto 2011-2014 Ford F-150 expansion tank is available in either micro-wrinkle black or a natural finish, for easy customization through powder-coating, anodizing, or hydro-dipping*. Our expansion tank also utilizes an easy to read sight tube to make checking the coolant level quick and effortless. No more trying to shine a light through that yellowed plastic tank.
Of course, our Lifetime Warranty ensures that you never have to worry about seeing an ugly, leaking, plastic expansion tank on your 2011-2014 Ford F-150 ever again.

With the airbox back in and all the bolts tightened down, we could step back and admire the fruits of over a year's labor. Sometimes, the best compliment a product can be given is that the owner doesn't even think about it. That's exactly what we want to hear about our 2011-2014 Ford F-150 expansion tank.
If you've been the owner of a 2011-2014 F-150 for the last year, chances are you've found a puddle of coolant under the front driver's side of your truck at least once. It's even more likely that you've found the source of that leak to be the quick-disconnect on the bottom of your stock coolant expansion tank. If I've done my job well enough, you've hopefully also heard that Mishimoto has been working on a solution to that very problem. It's been a long time coming, but we're finally ready to present that solution to the world.
The Ford F-150 is an exceptional truck; affordable, tough, surprisingly fast and strong enough to effortlessly haul you and your payload over a mountain range. It's so exceptional that as soon as you open the hood, you will probably be disappointed.
The problem of crumbling 2011-2014 F-150 expansion tanks has reached such daunting scale that some owners are on their third tank, and others have started buying spares because there's a good chance that the stock tank will break again.
I imagine this would dull the excitement of owning an F-150; leaving your house in the morning to find that coolant has spilled all over your driveway. Or finding that your driveway is dry, but as soon as you set off, the expansion tank cracks and leaves your coolant strewn out over the next mile, because it knows
It goes without saying that the cooling system routed throughout the engine bay of any vehicle works best when the coolant stays in the system. It's one of the main design requirements in fact. If that sounds familiar, that's because this same statement was made about the Ford 7.3 Powerstroke's expansion tank, which begs the question, is there a chink in the armor of Ford's self-proclaimed tough built trucks?
While most of the F-150 is "Built Ford Tough" the factory expansion tank doesn't exactly
