well today i woke up to a phone call from my boss... she said that someone told the owner of the store that i've been stealing beer from the store!!!! i just couldn't believe that i was being accused of stealing and was fired b/c someone lied to the owner. well it turns out that i know the kid that did it and he is the type of person who thinks he knows it all and if your like me and call his lies, then he doesn't like you much. after all that went on i went outside to fix my water pump and after i got it all back together i started it up and it still leaks coolant!!! it was coming from the top of the WP where the metal pipe bolts to the top of the WP. when i saw this i started tightening one of the bolts and it snapped!!! i am taking a break from all the frustrations now. anyone know why it would leak from there??? i had the gasket for the thermostat in and i had the grey rtv on there too. i'm just confused. i am off to try to find another bolt now.

 

Sorry to hear that you lost your job. Did you let the rtv cure before you started your truck? This is a common leak on our old trucks.

 

yeah i let the rtv cure for about an hour and a half to 2 hours maybe.

 

Well as my other thread indicated I have the fix for the broken bolt in the water pump side of the flange if that is where it is broken. If it elsewhere, I am sure it can be gotten out with the right tools and time.
