I recently changed all my hoses so it is new. When I opened my radiator cap there was a vacuum and the hose opened up. Bad Cap?? Bad t-stat?? --------------------------- 94 XJ 2 Door/2.5/5 SPD/4 WD Re: Collapsed lower radiator hose [Re: damitboy] #856537 01/01/08 11:40 PM Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 7,768 Central Texas BigJim Web Wheeler YES a bad cap! The cap is supposed to open and allow coolant from the resevour to enter instead of collapsing the lower hose.. BTW that lower hose is supposed to have a SPRING looking wire in it to KEEP the hose from flattening under vacume.
