Hey, by all means rancherman, if you are that good at checking things over, go for it. I don't know many people that keep a very close eye under their hood (myself included). 
Just had to change a pump today as a matter of fact.

Mine is running cool enough now! I changed from a 195 degree thermostat to a 180 degree. They flushed out the system and went back with water and antifreeze. It was cavitating, so I added two pints of Napa Kool 4056. Now, it consistently runs 195 to 200 degrees. Apparently, the main problem was cavitation.
