Collasped radiator hose.....
I have a "94" Vette(LT-1)...118,00 miles with a collasped radiator hose :eek: The hose from the water pump to the bottom of the radiator has collasped flat :eek:
Time for a new thermostat ...right? The original one from the factory is still in there :yesnod:

the spring that is to keep the suction from collaping the hose is gone. you need the spring in the bottom hose or you will have no water getting to the water pump :chevy
