I just replaced both upper and lower hose as well with a new radiator cap and Radiator
Fluid was replaced. Operating temp is normal and Stays but I’m concerned about the upper radiator hose looking full
And feels hard when the car is on. Is it normal ? I been driving it like this for about two weeks
75 miles a day. Or what do y’all Suggest don’t know how to post pic from phone .

Swollen or hard? There's a difference, hard is fine but swollen is a problem. Bulges are a problem and indicate impending doom

Here’s the link hopefully it works
Look where it connects to the radiator and to the engine is it normal ?
Also the hose is really hard when operating at normal temps

i would hope it's hard/firm. means there's pressure in the system and it's working
