Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fernando Gonzalez" data-source="post: 809508" data-attributes="member: 66778">(2001 ST 4x2 4.0l V6):  Changed a punctured upper radiator hose; apparently it was rubbing against a metal clamp from the AC system.  Installed the new one, made sure nothing was rubbing against it, turn the motor on and everything seemed fine until I went for a ride.  On the next stop light the temperature started rising and then I turned into a gas station to check it out.  The hose I have just installed was now very stiff and the coolant reservoir is now filled with what looks like a cappuccino blend. I have checked the engine oil but it's fine, no water there.  Any ideas on what might had gone bad and why?  Thanks.</blockquote>
