Blown Bypass hose
Wouldnt you know it? Friday the 13th. I took my truck out for a drive to the lumber yard, brought it back home and about 5 minutes later I heard somethin leakin. Sounded like a cow pissin on a flat rock. And then I smelled the antifreeze. My question is, is it common for these bypass hoses that go from the pump to the block to blow? Or is my engine running a little to warm? According to the gauge it doesn't rear warm at all, and I tested it once and the water temp was only at 150ish. Any ideas on what I should do?

The others can't be too far behind.
