If you have to replace the upper hose, replace the thermostat. 195 degree. Do yourself a favor and buy it directly from your Jeep dealer for the best reliability and temp control. Stats don't last forever.......

Was it a new hose that busted? If not it could have been just a bad hose.

If the water pump is new, chances are it's not. Newer, well maintained components usually perform reliably....old components fail/cause problems.
