This is because air is constantly flowing through the radiator therefore cooling it the hose will normally be hot or warm.

Why is top radiator hose hot and the bottom hose cold in 1989 Toyota pickup?

Engines return hot coolant to the radiator through top hose, and cooled coolant goes back to the engine through the bottom hose, so a difference in temperature between the two would not be unusual. Assuming you have allowed the engine to come up to temperature and the bottom hose is stone cold, either the radiator or bottom hose is blocked, the water pump has failed or there is an air lock. A seized viscous coupling on a cooling fan or a permanently running electric fan can also make the radiator over-cool, but the bottom hose would feel slightly cooler than the top hose, not cold.

What are the symptoms of a bad thermostat on a car?

"No heat coming out, temperature gauge buried at cold." Uhhhh...no. #1. Run the car till it gets to operating temperature (or warms up at all). #2. Check radiator hoses. a. top hose hot b. bottom hose WARM but not HOT or COLD...just warm. Cooler than top but not cold. If bottom hose is COLD, get a new thermostat or flush radiator, OR BOTH! If bottom hose is as hot as top...GET A NEW THERMOSTAT! My thermo was bad and the car NEVER overheated and temp gauge ALWAYS showed normal.
