If you are referring to the upper radiator hose, then there is a spring inside the hose that keeps it from collapsing over time. It is normal and is intended to be there, so DO NOT REMOVE IT!

Where is the thermosatat on a 2000 Dodge Durango?

When you open the hood, look for the top radiator hose. Then follow that hose to the engine. You will see a metal piece that hose clamps to that is held onto the engine by two nuts. Remove those two nuts and pull up the metal piece. You will find the thermostat there. If you are replacing the Thermostat, be sure to get the gasket also or you will have a leak there.
