My water pump is leaking...

[SloNLo_350]

So Saturday (if its not hurricaning) may be spent at Zach's with my truck all apart (if Zach doesn't mind of course). Anybody wanna help?

[cary00silve]

Your truck has to be "all apart" to replace the waterpump?

[SloNLo_350]

Yes, its a little known fact that you have to actually remove the bed and passenger side mirror (possibly the inner door panel as well) to change the water pump. Apparently you have never changed a water pump on a '95 Chevy pickup.

:lol: I wish I could help. Sounds like fun. You sure that a bolt just hasnt backed out?

[SloNLo_350]

no i havent really looked at it yet. I just got back from class and noticed a nice little green puddle and it was dripping off the sway bar and stuff, but i couldn't see where the leak was coming from (it wouldn't leak while it was idling).

go new, dont get a reman water pump. you will thank me later. :mrgreen:


ps we got those instock.... i could hook you up for around 30 bucks if that is a good deal.

[SloNLo_350]

$30 is about what they go for... and I was planning on a new one. My awesome super excessive student loan for this summer is paying for it (well I'll pay for it eventually I guess, but for right now its really convenient.

Hey, that sucker has gone 10 years with 4 of it of me behind the wheel, so I give that little water pump props for sticking with it this long!

OK. That is quite impressive. I know what ya mean though. People rag me about my shit all the time BUT, It has seen a Shit Load of abuse and the only thing I've put on it was an alternator.(knock on wood) and those damn tires that lose tread so often :kinson: :mrgreen: And on that note..Now that I don't have the money for more tires like I use to, the tires on the back have been on there for about 4-5 months..which is Amazing for me and my lead foot.

[SloNLo_350]

The ZZ4 one was a short nosed one, and apparently the shop put the old one back on there because it looked just like my old one and the paint is flaking off a little.

And it is leaking from the back of the pump, not from where the pump meets the block.

[SloNLo_350]

I siliconed that mutha fucka!!

[Osceola16]

If that dont hold...Get out the Duct tape!

[SloNLo_350]

It didn't... and I'm out of duct tape :nono:

I guess I gotta buy a water pump tomorrow... and Idle Aic Control Motor. It died too, but the truck sounds sweet idling at 600rpm.

[J8127]

[Osceola16]

Free mod.. Fake cam :lol:

One of my buddies actually did that to his truck. He had a 90 model f150 with a 302 and headers, and other mods. A big thing here is, when the festival pond gets here in October, Everybody unbolts headers/manifolds. So a couple days before the Bogg he yanked a vaccum line off the intake, and uncapped the headers and DAMN that thing sounded mean as fawk! He left it like that for years(vaccum i mean,headers got bolted back up)...with no damage. And yes...My cutouts get yanked during festival weekend also :rice: The cops dont do a damn thing about LOUD ASS exhaust during festival weekend. :secret:

[SloNLo_350]

Oh no, stock it idles about 700, and with this cam it still chops a good bit there. It is somewhat smooth though once it is warm at 850 (where it idles now).

[SloNLo_350]

DONE!! I just decided to go ahead and knock that shit out today. That was the best TMCA intall ever i think. No major problems and everything works like it should. Except i think my belt stretched :shrug:.
