waterb pump
well afterb 235k my water pump puked with no warning. I was crusing then noticed my temps go up to 225* so i pulled over got out with truck still running and look under the front and it looked like a water hose was on. water blowing out of the weep hole
i was planning on doing a coolant flush and hose's this weekend. guess i ccan add pump to that list. can you guys think of anything else that needs to be done?

Thermostat, possibly the housing. Maybe one of those heavy-duty flanges that reinforce the flange on the housing. Maybe a new res cap. Don't forget the SCA (or get pre-charged).
Option - IH water pump with integral filter base.

I did alot of cursing
I got a 203* that's about a year old
Don't need the dual tensioner mod my belt wears perfect
I put in the HPOP from Glenn a few months ago and everthing is sealed tight
T stat neck is only a couple months old
I'll be using fleetgaurd pre charged
Res cap ?

Ignore the res cap, i dont think he realized you had a 97.
Like PJwool said, Do the HPOP gear cover while your in there.
You can be cool like me and just leave the fan off too.

Is that IH pump hard to install? My pump isn't leaking, but I figure I should replace it, as I don't know the history on it. Temps are good though I just want to get stuff done before winter as I have no shop and outside in the cold sucks.

Water pump is a snap if you got the fan removal tool.
few bolts on the shroud. pop the fan off, be sure to block the radiator with plywood.
Well, drain coolant first, make huge mess.
few bolts on the system and whammo, its out.
15 Ft Lbs is the tq on them IIRC.
I can probably change a water pump on our trucks in an hour now after i have the fan and shroud off.

'97 has the cap on the radiator?
Wouldn't leaving the fan off make him hot like you??? (or warmer 
...)

those auto parts store loaner "wrenches" are a joke
