Thanks Griff
The OEM is what I put on a few years back. The 'new' one didn't seem any firmer. No springs to be had. I'll try the 'suitable flex hose as it was much more ridged. Bought a cap too... will try flushing the system, swapping hoses, new cap, new coolant. Not quite up for trying the water pump just yet. Going with the easy stuff...
Without the part numbers... they would have had no clue what to hand me. lol. Kinda standard for me. Thanks again... I'll let everyone know how it goes...
When I worked at CarQuest, it became known the store had a motorhome expert. One person drove 100 miles (one-way) to see me. He arrived on a Thursday, to find out I worked Friday through Sunday. The boss offered to call me, knowing I'd be glad to help, but he insisted on staying at a motel and waiting for my regular shift.
He made several calls home to get his son to crawl around and find chassis VIN and other numbers I wanted. By the time he left on Saturday, he'd left with over $400 worth of parts and improvements. (That's after I gave him an extra discount.)
The boss kept track of him. In total, he made six 200 mile round trips to talk to me and spent over $1,000 fixing up his motorhome.
On the final trip, he showed up with the motorhome on Friday to show me and the boss his work ... and he was beaming like the father of a new baby.
