Default upper radiator hose
Anyone had the problem of the upper radiator hose sucking itself flat??? It has a new one on it and it will suck it flat and heat up quick.... 1994 F-250 7.3L stock turbo

possibly, but doubt it. could be the bypass in the thermostat housing is blocked. if u do swap the tstat, only install a ford or IH one.

Default overheating
did you change thermostat when you put new hose on? and if you did possibly you put thermostat in backwards.
