After seeing a post made by Tollkeeper, it reminded me to ask about this. I've been having issues with my upper radiator hose backing off where it connects up top. I tried replacing the radiator cap, upper and lower hoses with ones made by Gates. The upper one was "fudged" in the sense the previous owner cut it to make it fit?? The lower one was similar in butchering. I ordered those up and put them in last summer. I replaced the upper and lower hose clamps as well, but for some reason the lower hose comes loose every once in a while, but for the upper its usually every week, or every other week that I need to loosen the clamp and "push" it back into place.
There's not cracks or anything in the neck for the rad that I can see causing this, so I'm not sure if the radiator cap is bad, or if there is back pressure being created somewhere in the system.
