Smile What spring.radiator hose.

Good day all.
So check it out i decided to replace my lower radiator hose....thinking its the issue with a hot running motor.
Especially when a/c running.
Now. i feel this is the reason because there is no spring in the hose. And its collapsing restricting flow.
With all that being typed.
The new replacement has NO. spring....unless i purchas the flex hose....which by the way is way more solid than the molded.
So it was my understsnding that all lower hoses had a spring in them.
Sooo. What's what?

AS far as I know... You got it rite.... I Agree....
Unless you buy a spring to install in the lower hose. Your kind of limited to to the Flex stiff hose...

Ok good news....
Looks like that was the trick.....after she sucked All the coolant she could possibly take. She's running at 150. Its 80* 98% humidity and running at 150* with a/c.
Unless my tep gauge just took a dump "i kept taping it "
Seems shes getting all the circulation of coolant with that new hose with a spring. This is the first that this has happened to me.
What about other's.have you gotton lower hose without a spring.?
