so the two gaskets that came with my waterpump... there is an o-ring and a flat gasket. Does the oring go to the inlet pipe then?

Well last time I did a WP it had 2 round 0-ring's one for the lower rad elbow (about 2.5 inches in diameter) and one for the heater hose fitting (3/4in) then a formed o-ring for the mating surface of the water pump to block. can you describe the flat gasket?

Ok, I have the oring for the heater hose, and then I have a flat gasket and another o-ring that are the same size.

Both the thermostat area and the inlet have a recessed lip that could fit both.

The old inlet appears to have the flat one in it. (or it could be the oring thats just smashed).

I wouldn't imagine they would use a oring for the thermostate?

is the flat gasket rubber or some other material? Maybe the flat gasket (what I would call a square cut (cross section view) o-ring) is for the thermostat and the round o-ring is for the inlet.

The flat one doesn't feel real rubbery and it is square cut.

Well the gasket from the thermostat is still good. Its only been on the truck since Thanksgiving.

Alright, I'll put the square cut on the thermostate and the o-ring on the inlet.

Thanks TJ
