That hose coming off is not good. How did it do that anyway. Did you put the clip on when you installed it? You should read the codes, and see what is going on. Maybe your t-stat is busted again.

I think that might be the problem I did not bleed the system. The air might be the issue. I know that the last time I was bleeding the system I made sure the temp was to max 90 and at the lowest setting. Then adding coolant with the vent open and I started getting coolant flying out of the vent at which point it seemed clear of bubbles. I did not do that this time when filling it up. I will do that as soon as I get home.
The hose was in tight for sure because i could not do it with bare hands so i used a rubber mallet to slowly push it in all the way until it was on just the way the previous one was. Then i closed the clip and did not have trouble until this.
As far as codes go I can read the one on the obc but I do not have a reader. Any suggestions on one that I can pick up from perhaps a pepboys? or an Autozone?
