Whats wrong if i just changed my lower radiator hose and now my truck is heating up to over 250 and way in the?

Did you put the correct hose on the vehicle? Lower hoses usually have a spring like support to keep them from collapsing, and if it did not, the hose may be restricting the flow of coolant.





Did you refill the coolant level, and bleed out any air? You do not say what the make, model, year, or engine you have so it is hard to give exact advice.





Did you run the truck hot when the hose went bad? If so you may have blown a head gasket.|||It sounds like you may have an air lock in it.|||blockage at the radiator or some other foreign material may have gotten into you lines. or you may just have a faulty thermostat.|||There could be air in the line, especially since you just changed it, but here are some other options:





1. bad thermostat


2. bad water pump


3. blockage in one of the other hoses


4. blockage or leakage in the radiator


5. fan clutch not activating at the proper time and fan not spinning


6. incorrect mixture of water and anti-freeze (too much anti-freeze)


7. incorrect type of anti-freeze|||well if you blew a hose then pressure between the thermostat and that hose is too high so you need to put a new low thmp thermostat in and that should fix it|||and way in the? Huh???





If you change one radiator hose you should change them all, or they will just start to leak one after the other and you%26#039;ll lose your antifreeze every time.





Check your thermostat. Put it in a pot of water and boil the water on the stove. If your thermostat opens, it%26#039;s good.|||u did not get all the air out of the system or did not refill properly take it to the shop b 4 u blow it up|||take off your radiator cap and burp it.turn the car on let it get to operating temp and let all those bubbles get out
