2 hoses are for the A/C evaporator core. These are heavier hoses with fittings on them. The heater core lines should be 5/8" rubber with hose clamps on them. Follow them back, they come from the engine.

There is a special tool - heater hose disconnect tool - that looks like a two pronged fork on the end of a handle that is recommended for use in releasing the clips on the hoses. I was able to get the tool as a loaner from Autozone, OEM#27106. (actually they charge you for the tool and then credit you back when returned). I used advise from another blog on the topic and wrapped the large 'fork' of the tool with metallic duct tape to enable it to slip over the clips. Theoretically you puch the fork down over the clips and then push in to release the clips...remove the tool and slide the hose off (theory and practice are two different things). Having just completed this repair myself I can tell you that the special tool did not work well. It has to be aligned too exactly and there was not sufficient space under my hood for this to happen. It did make turning the hose easier however and I do think it may have released one side of the clip...as you know it's hard to see/tell given the location of these connectors. What I found most effective, though time consuming, was to twist the top hose to expose one clip. Using a long shafted screw driver and a small hammer, I literally punched the clip under the retaining ring. Then rotating the top hose 90 degrees to expose the other clip I did the same thing. Whew... then onto the lower hose. Purchase replacement clips (the pair at Ford dealer were about $30) as getting them off is not easy...I used spring hooks, needle nose pliers, etc. but knew I had replacements to use. The new clips also come with the o-rings...to be installed in rubber, plastic, rubber sequence. Pushing the hoses back on the replacement core was challenging also. I found that flarring the wings of the clips helpped as well as twisting the hose so that the tabs would hit the metal frame of the hole and not the padding. Good Luck, it's a tight fit.

check closer to just underneath the firewall--it could be a smaller problem than a heater core--Ford 4.6--5.4 engines have a tube just underneath the intake manifold that the rubber hose goes bad and it will leak towards the back of the engine.Lets hope so-what i hear its very expensive to change a heater core in an Expedition.

That's right. They even sell a bypass kit at parts stores which is just a pipe and two clamps
SOURCE: need to replace the hose
It is a heater hose assembly and will come with all the hoses and pipes as one assembly. Ford has updated it and it will look a little different than the one that is in it now.
It is also available in the after market. Your local parts store, like NAPA, should be able to get you one for about $70
