: Is it normal for the upper................. Joeairforce 07-19-2010, 09:57 PM Umm.... NO....... Absolutely NOT normal...... :eek: Torque454 07-19-2010, 09:59 PM No its not normal, but how is it getting compressed is the real question. The upper hose is the discharge side, not the suction side. Ive seen lower radiator hoses get sucked shut (thats why they have a spring inside of the) but never an upper hose. gnel 07-19-2010, 10:05 PM Could it be blockage of some sort? It also ran pretty cool if the temp. guage is working correctly. If the thermastat was removed could this be the cause? Thanks prostar 08-29-2010, 11:07 PM I noticed the same thing today after completing a 2400 mile trip bondjames85 08-29-2010, 11:41 PM not me! Mine's as hard as a rock! Compleet with bubbles in the radiator... Hmm... maybe thats not good either... :D Bison 08-30-2010, 01:43 AM you guy with the collapsed top hose,have you perhaps swapped the belt and routed it wrong. The waterpump running the wrong way will cause reverse flow, Bison 08-30-2010, 01:44 AM not me! Mine's as hard as a rock! Compleet with bubbles in the radiator...

The waterpump running the wrong way will cause reverse flow, I agree, I've seen this on other trucks with serp belts... you got a problem It'll only be a problem when it quits running altogether! I've got a spare motor ready, so I'm driving this one till it grenades! :) | ||
