For the water pump I used the Summit #SUM-312421 - $66.95
" " T-stat - #EMP-301 - $14.88
Do Not Use the Flow Kooler Pump!! I tried it and the accessory bolt holes did not line up. Had to send it back.

well I probably won't be buying a new water pump as of right now because I have no reason to believe the on there is bad, but thanks for the info on the thermostat! I don't know for sure yet because I haven't taken the old one out yet, but i'm sure it could be replaced. Same goes for the fluid, just regular antifreeze or anything specific?

did you use the 50/50 mix or straight antifreeze? granted you can just add water to the straight coolant to make 50/50 i guess

I just use the Stant brand 180* and drill one 1/8" in the outer ring and install with hole at 12:00. Nothing fancy here.

Is it alright to use water from the hose out back from the house? It's just the stock radiator I believe. The guy I bought the truck from last year said something like a 3 or 4 core which shouldn't mean anything about water to use.
