unlike the previous poster who has nothing to add but snide remarks . I am an ASE Certified Mechanic who just recently acquired a xj6 and needs a lower radiator hose and it was very easy, I came here looking fir a little extra tips, but found a smart allic who probably doesn't know how to hold a wrench...Get a lifeguy.

Why are all radiator hoses hot except the lower hose?
Lower radiator hoses in water cooled engines are return lines. The upper radiator hoses are feed lines of hot engine water to the radiator. The reason that lower hoses are cooler is that the radiator has allowed much of the water's heat to dissipate into the air. Thus, a lower radiator hose contains cooler water than other radiator and heater hose lines.
How much coolant does a 4.6 v8 in a Ford F150 hold?
It holds 19.4 Qts total with hoses and radiator installed.
What can cause no pressure in upper and lower radiator hoses if radiator radiator cap thermostat water pump and hoses have all been replaced?
Actually if car is not running hot and temp gauge is staying within range then car is probably fine. I've seen a few that didn't have a lot of pressure on hoses because the flow of coolant was just that good. If you have too much pressure on a hose then you may need to worry.
How much does it cost to replace the radiator in a 98 dodge ram?

What would you look for if a hose was damaged?
Assuming we are talking about automotive radiator hoses or heater hoses, look for areas that have a ballooning effect, cracking, dry rot. Feel the hose with your fingers, it should be firm and pliable but not hard or spongy. Original equipment hoses seem to last much longer than after-market hoses.

How does a jetski engine cool?
a jet ski uses the water its in to cool the engine through various hoses wich pass through its engine. if its a closed loop system, it uses a radiator in much the same way as a car. the same water/antifreez is constantly cooled by the radiator.
What causes a radiator leak in kia carnival 2000 model?
several answer for this problem. 1. radiator has hole in it. 2.Old high mileage radiator just needs to be replaced. 3.Radiator cap malfunctioning,making it look like radiator is leaking. 4. Heater/radiator hoses laeking. 5.Remember all radiators operate above the boiling point of water under pressure,so if there is a weak spot in radiator or hoses its gonna leak.Antifreeze does a much better job under pressure for this task,not only to prevent freezing in winter, but stops corrosion too.The point is let it cool off before working on radiator or its components. You can get nasty steam /hot antifreeze burns, so cool off first. 6. hope this helps you out.
How do you change radiator and fan motor and fan on 1992 dodge stealth es?
I assume this readiator is in a non-turbo car. The fan units are attached to the radiator itself. Once you remove the whole radiator fans and all it will be much easier to work on. The radiator is held in place by two clamps at either top side of the unit. Remove feed and return hoses, and unplug two temp sensors at bottom of radiator. Remove trans cooler lines (if auto trans). The fan units are secured to the radiator by four screws.

Sounds As If You Need To Replace It. There Isn`t Much Of A Test To See If It Is Working Unless You Remove It. Replace It + Any Radiator, Heater Hoses, Bypass Hose Also.
