Possibility there's still some air trapped in the system. I try to fill my rads on a hill with the rad being the highest point. When you refilled the rad, did you turn the heat control all the way up to fill the heater core?

"no pressure built up" ? As the coolant temp rises there should be pressure built up. If not the radiator cap is bad.

As hoses get old they get soft. Could be the hose is collapsing. Rare but i have seen it happen. There usually is a coil to prevent collapse
In reply to ShawnG :
Ever used them? I saw very mixed reviews online. The coolant also all just got changed. May need a bit more drive time.
Running with the rad cap off, hoards of tiny champagne bubbles frothing in the coolant are indicative of a head gasket blowing into the water jacket.
