okay, so I'm out in the garage admiring the truck under the engine and I squeeze the radiator hose that goes from the water pump to the radiator close to the radiator and I feel inside like there are parts in there close to the radiator.... is that normal??? like maybe there is a themostat that got pushed? is that a normal feeling. when I squeeze the hose? anyone else have this or is this just me?

There is a large metal wire, shaped like a spring inside of the hose to maintain it's shape.

It's normal.
