I've been chasing an overheating issue and was about to throw in the towel when today I discovered that when I rev the motor the lower radiator hose collapsed. It appears my radiator is not suppling enough fluid as the water pump is pulling at higher rpm.
Obviously, this restricts cooling fluid to the block and cause overheating? I pulled the radiator today and will be dropping it at the repair shop for a re core.
Questions is? Anyone else see this issue with clogged and restricted radiator? Am I on the right track?
