96 E150 Starcraft Conversion coolant leak
I have a 1996 E150 Starcraft Conversion van and it is leaking coolant from a hose coming off the waterpump. Does anyone have a picture of the hoses coming off the waterpump? I would like to have a diagram so I make sure I get the right hose from the parts place.

Conversion vans add an additional level of complexity. If you have a rear heat system, you will need to take the leaky hose in and compare it. It may have been cut or otherwise customized.
What engine do you have?

I found the part at the local parts store. It was only listed for the 351 engine. It is my father-in-laws van and I thought it had a 302, now I am not so sure. Part was $52. Water pump would have only been $38. It was the hose that came of the bottom of the waterpump and to the botom of the radiator. There are 2 parts. The hose coming off the waterpump has a fitting attached to it that has 2 heater hoses going out also. Then there is a hose coming off that fitting and attaching to the botom of the radiator. We are going to put it on tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

Water pump is a hell of a job. EVERYTHING must come off, AC, Alt, AIR pump, etc. Then you have to remove the two accessory brackets, and THEN you can get to the water pump. Removing the radiator is a damn good idea, and doesn't add but maybe 30 mintues to a 4 hour job (which will become a more expensive 4.5 hour job if you punch the radiator)
