Please enlighten me on why the lower hose needs the spring? is it a mopar thing? is it needed when there is no t-stat? I find the spring hoses unpleasing to the eye, buttt... if there is a need in certain situations id like to know....thanks.
Not just a Mopar thing; I've found/seen them in other cars/trucks. It's a very loose spiral wire that conforms to the inside of a standard hose, about 1 turn per inch. not the flexy hose you may be thinking of.
