So, a couple of weeks ago I installed a 203 degree stat in my truck and changed the upper and lower hoses. I has a small leak at the intake side of the pump where the pipe with the 90 degree bend bolts onto the pump. I saw some rust on the pipe so I thought i would put a new one on while I was there.

Now of course I thought about changing the pump too, but it was not leaking.

Until this past weekend! Yep right out the darn shaft. So I call up the dealer and NAPA. dealer wanted $270 for a new pump. NAPA $160 for a new lifetime.

Yes I went with the NAPA pump. I looked in the box before I left the counter before I left the store. Had to LMAO when i saw the new 90 degree pipe in the box! I had just paid $72 for it! LMAO shaking my head..

Never fails!

So if you have truck and you need to do any cooling system work, you may want to go ahead with a pump the first go around.

Truck is fine now.

glad you got her all buttoned up.

 

Sounds like my luck. Glad all went well

 

You bought the pipe twice but you still came out better doing it yourself.

Glad you got it done.

 

that sucks

 

Glenn, I just have to add...your storm trooper cartoon kind of freaks me out. Each time I look at a post you've replied to I see that thing just thrusting away and it makes me want to throw up a little.

 

I keep thinking how the empire must have fallen on some really hard times if you look at their fleet behind him.
