Like what tjbiker031 said, replace the thermostat first. Its cheap and easy, easier then a water pump lol.

i just read on the other similar thread for this... the one labeled problem.... so stiff rubber hoses mean i blew the headgasket?! o_O because the one that goes from the radiator to the engine is pretty much swollen... but that coul also happen if the thermostat is closed shut.. right?............Right?

Just do a compression test, I wouldn't trust a swollen hose to diagnose my car. I have seen a stuck thermostat make a coolant hose swell like you wouldn't believe.

i say check your water pump it may be more work but you don't want to have to do it when it breaks.. that can get spendy though replacing extra parts and such like the timeing belt your accessory belts timing belt tensioner (possibly).
