YES.......

 

Where can I find one of those hoses with a spring I've looked everywhere

 

Good question, I don't believe radiator hoses necessarily come with a spring anymore for some reason. Manufacturers say they aren't needed.

If you can see the lower hose collapsing though, as you describe, it's certain to be a major issue at highway cruise speeds/RPM. Fixing this would go a long way to remedying the issue I'd wager.

You can roll yer own spring easily. Coat hanger material would be plenty strong enough.

 

I have gates hoses. And there supposed to be made of something that won't collapse but I call bs on that since the hose has done that since it was new. So I tried and tried to find one with a spring or a spring to put in and couldn't ever find one. So what would be something good to wrap it around?

 

Yea a spring in a modern hose is rare these days, they claim they just dont need em.

So question would be how old is that hose?

Might better just replace it with a fresh one if have doubts, I agree with those before me, what you describe sounds like a lower hose collapsing under exactly that condition. The water pump puts quite a bit of vac on that lower hose when running at highway speeds especially if the stat isn't open very much from the onset, an older weakened hose wouldn't stand a chance under those conditions.

 

Determine the inside diameter of the hose, find a form that is the same size, and wrap the wire material around it to form a spring that will run the length of the hose. Insert spring into hose, secure clamps, go for a beer. It's OK if it extends into the radiator or water pump housing a bit. This is rocket science, but it ain't that bad.

 

Hahaha alright thanks guys and the hose is probably 3-4 years old I'll just get a new one and put a homemade spring in it

 

Let us know what works, what doesn't. If you're having an overheating problem likely somebody else will find the cure pretty helpful
