anybody have.......

.......an old lower radiator hose for a 4.0 XJ with the spring inside that stops it from collapsing? Missing my spring, and the rig is running hot at high RPM's,m i.e. freeway speeds.

OEM Jeep hoses come with the spring, but my asshat dealer says the hose is two weeks away. Need it for this weekend.

I don't have an extra one, but I don't have any fluids in the rig right now and won't for a while. If your in a pinch let me know.

I have a brand new one I just bought from the dealer that I don't need right away. I live/work in El Dorado Hills. You're welcome to come get it (if you don't find one closer). I could ship it if you think it would make it in time.

Dealer just called back, the item is now discontinued. Great.

I think I may just make a support spring out of a coat hanger.

Thanks for all the offers, I'll get back to you if it doesn't work as planned......

UPDATE:

If you need a new lower radiator hose for your 87-91, just order a late model hose.

Got a '99 hose yesterday, fits like a champ, and has the correct spring inside.......

$15 for the part, and it's far superior to parts store junk.
