Radiator hose collapsed during break-in?
I have a GTA that just got a H/C, LS6intake LS1. During break in the lower radiator hose collapsed, choking off flow to the water pump and causing the hose to blow off at the radiator neck (lower).
I think the hose was thru Hawk's. It is smaller in diameter in the main part than where it connects to the water pump and radiator, resulting in a stepped appearance.
Has anyone seen this before?

if you need a new lower hose i got a part number for the hose that you need... not that stupidly overpriced one.
