My 5.0 fx4 scab got a bit too warm a few days ago. I opened the hood and began inspecting the hoses. Right away I noticed the upper hose was collapsed. Thanks for posting the fix!

I have a 1989 Ford 350 7.3 l diesel it was overheating quite a bit couldn't figure out the problem so I replaced my radiator cap still overheated then I replace the bottom hose cuz it blew off still overheated so I thought it was a leaky head gasket put some sealer into the radiator that clogged my radiator cap and caused a collapsed hose I clean and flushed out the radiator put the cap back on I haven't had a issue with a collapsed hose. And found out it was a fan clutch. I would have never known any of that so,Thank you

I figure change the thermostat also if you remove the upper and lower radiator hose.

I had the collapsed lower radiator hose, I replaced both upper and lower radiator hoses, the thermostat and the reservoir cap.
I had my truck jacked up in the front for a couple of days, I also did an oil change. After lowering the truck and checking for any leaks I backed up maybe 30 feet, I checked for leaks again and I had coolant leaking from the front of the muffler? Any thoughts?

[@albertomarrero630]

Do you have a video on how to replace the bottom hose, 2018 f150 2.7 ecoboost?

[@Captainpook12]

Would this issue cause rpm surge? Mine has the flat hose also . Getting new cap tomorrow.

[@The_Redline]

Great vid. My local shop charged me $908 for all this work. Thoughts?

[@brianfontaine6625]

I wonder if a switched thermostat could have caused the hose collapse as well ???

[@user-kk8rg8ew5g]

I replaced my radiator cap just like you said but I still have a collapsed talk radiator hose coming from the thermostat and my reservoir tank is still full any help I would appreciate it very much you very much. Also my bottom radiator hose feels like it has no coolant going from the radiator to the engine block

[@jtjimenez05]

Same. I'm actually replacing my lower one tomorrow.

[@brianfontaine6625]

Maybe a switched thermostat did it? I just replaced my thermostat and now my lower hose collapsed.
