I lost a lower radiator hose and toasted an engine. and put another engine in and had the same thing happen to that engine excpt that the engine survived,(purrs like a kitten) i think that the lower hose was colasing and being sucke off(no spring inside) do any of you have an opinions on this, do you know of a low water sensor aftermarket.

The lower hose MUST have a spring inside.. so as to NOT allow just that ""Sucking Flat""........ Some new lower hoses do not come with the spring, so ensure you save the old one and reuse it. AP stores have them by hose ID size/length.
