Did it blow up, like a balloon?
Was it the top hose or bottom hose?
Does the overflow work? Perhaps the radiator cap isn't releasing pressure.?
Its gone soft between the pulley and the engine. I bought A new top hose from repco but have not installed. Yes, the existing hose blows up like a balloon when hot, and deflates when cool, but remains soft in that section after deflation, while the rest of the hose is firm. I am guessing the bottom hose might have same issues. Will get a thorough cooling system check done.
