'98 Dodge Ram 1500 problems
Sorry no I don't, the best I can do is show you the insides of a water pump( it's not a dodge one). Can you please tell us which hose is collapsing is it the upper or lower one. Just to help the upper hose goes to the intake manifold and the lower hose goes to the water pump.

Well to test the water pump the old school way is to remove the lower rad hose from the pump, if you can stick a long blade screw driver in the hole and see if you can stop the pump from turning, if you can then the pump is good if you can't stop it the pump is shot. the best way is to just r&r the pump and inspect it.
These trucks are bad for vapor locks in the cooling system after you work on it,do a search for burbing the cooling system
