subject: More antifreeze problems.

No sooner do I post about my "bypass" work to fix the leaking
auxiliary pump on the Durango, and my wife calls me on the way home about
another anti-freeze related problem.

My bypass worked fine, but now the heater hose has about a 1" gash in
it.  It happened about 2 inches from my bypass, right on a part of the hose
that bends/curves.  

This goes back to my theory that sometimes it is just better to replace
everything in the area when working on something if you even suspect future
problems.

For the time being, I might do another "bypass", but this weekend
plan to replace the entire heater hose (which is a "Y" style,
since it goes to two heater cores) and install the new auxiliary coolant
pump.
