Which end to cut ugh!!

You won't collapse that hose until the WP starts spinning pretty good...... which is exactly when it shouldn't . I don't understand you're thinking that somehow a soft bottom hose is a good thing! Cuz it's the last hose I would want to go soft on my Cooling system.

NEMopar, I mean you no disrespect ...... but those Mopar engineers need respect too; they put a Wall support in there for a good reason. And you don't want to find out the hard way, that you shouldda had one in there.

anyone that thinks the radiator flow will not keep up with the water pump needs to do the math. the flow area thru the radiator is larger than the hose

not if the rad has plugged tubes.

Well I posted this on kind of the same subject(the radiator and fan thread), but I used a harder flexible hose when my lower hose last year was collapsing as they do with high volume water pumps and Heat. I can only imagine with that kink in your hose what's going on.
And I believe I posted a picture of it on that thread. And I don't know if it was this thread also but somewhere I was saying to do the same thing to go to the Napa and go back there and start checking hoses that look like the one you need.

What if the hose is kinked?

That's not self-explanatory?

You can put the spring in today............. or at some future date. But if your engine self destructs,in between times, well, ...........
