The upper radiator hose is where the hot coolant enters the radiator from the engine. It cycles through the radiator, cooling as it goes. When it reaches the bottom, it moves out of the radiator through the lower hose and back into the engine to start the cycle once more...
The normal flow is from the lower hose to the water pump, through the cooling passages in the engine, and back through the thermostat to the upper hose and then to the radiator.
Can the lower radiator hose affect the temp of the car

I have a Durango 2009. The engine temp gauge reads in the bottom of the gauge between the the two lower indicator lines when the engine has warmed up. Is this a problem, is it normal?
