Don't know if the 6.7 is different but a collapsed upper rad hose is usually a sign of a bad cap in my experience.

deff not freaking out or would have never drove it the day i found it. Anyways, yes found out the cap must be going bad as after i popped it again and let it sit a few mins the hose pushed back out, so i tightened cap and turned back about a 1/4 turn and will see what happens. thanks guys for all the help

I would just purchase a new cap. They aren't that expensive.
