Water Pump Fun!

Took my 92 SE out to the Ocala National Forest a few weekends ago and noticed it was dripping coolant from behind the crankshaft pulley. After a day out on the 4x4 trails I saw it heating up and noticed coolant all over the subframe and realized my worst fear was a reality: the water pump had failed, was leaking coolant, and the fan was wobbling on the water pump shaft. I called a tow, got it home, and prepared to dive in and do the timing belt+ job.

 

1 week and $300~ later I have replaced the water pump, timing belt, t belt tensioner, all drive belts, all 4 coolant hoses, thermostat, radiator, rad cap, and the fuel filter. The truck lives again! As an added bonus now the truck gets up to temp much faster, I think the old thermostat was stuck open.

 

Anyways just wanted to post some good news and say thanks to everybody on this forum for the How To's, they really helped me out.
