For the record, a new cap solved my eruption problem. A new lower radiator hose with a shield solved my problem of air being sucked into the coolant. I still don't have the *right* lower radiator hose, but I have one that doesn't leak and is shielded from the belt. The cooling system holds...

Yes, my new hose has the spring. I had to push it further into the hose when installing, to get it out of the way.

I figured I'd try this first, since it's simplest. I parked on the steepest slope I had handy, nose up, to help any air get to the radiator and out. I did get some air out that way, running the engine and letting it warm up with the cap off. In testing the hose to the overflow tank, I found...

I ran an errand today, about 10 miles, max speed 45 MPH. When I got home, I noticed wetness around the passenger headlight. It was coolant. The "overheat" idiot light never went on. The cooling system has been flushed twice recently, once at 1,900 miles, and again at 2,500 miles. Mileage is...
