This  is a repeat of a tech tip is send in about a year and a half ago. 
A  spring in the lower hose is defiantly required. If a car suddenly
overheats  as the rpm goes up with vehicle speed, the problem is probably
caused
by  the collapsing of the lower hose when the pump inlet pressure goes 
negative.
For  some reason, some hose suppliers have quit supplying the springs in
lower hoses,  probably some low cost un-American supplier. I  found that a 
"Rainbird/Toro"  impulse lawn sprinkler has a stainless spring that works 
great. The spring can be twisted if necessary to make it  tight. You can buy a
sprinkler head for about $16.00 and it's worth it just  to find a stainless
spring.
