the engine would,nt be cold after a drive. sounds like the cord inside the hose is broke. it,s time for another hose.

because you have open up the cooling system to change a hose, air might in the cooling system you must first try to bleed the system of all air if that does not help than the new hose that you buy maybe defective
if you want to know how to bleed your cooling system then go to site bellow. it have your the cooling system is on page: your manual is the 1996 - 2000 Factory Service Manual

1 replace hose if no good and check for the leak..and make sure the thermostate is no upside down and is working

It sounds like the radiator cap is defective and not allowing coolant from the reserve to suck back in while cooling down. Did you replace the cap by any chance?
