Added. Welcome. Whereabouts in NE Georgia? I’m near Clermont.

Unfortunately, I won’t make this one. Gotta get ready for vacation starting next weekend then a work trip out of town the week after. Have fun!

Same…

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!

Drove her to work today. No leaks so far and stayed about 210…a little over when idling after hot with AC on. Seems normal from what I’ve read around the forums. The thermostat I pulled out said 195, but it ran way cooler before the change. It was not stuck open, but it must have been opening...

That’s what I found when I opened it up lol. That may have been the leak, but I went ahead and replaced thermostat, water pump, pump tube, and gaskets. Threw on a new belt for good measure. Draining the distilled water flush now. All I like is refilling with coolant after that.

Still working on it. Hope to be finished this afternoon. Think maybe it was just the thermostat housing leaking… This look ok? What in the Alabama? 🤣

I have (4) cheap handhelds from Amazon. They work great. However, I won't be there so it don't matter. :mad:

Yeah I’ve seen many threads on here for water pumps. Lots of different opinions too. Most have to be ordered. I was wondering if there was a local option for a decent one. Probably not.

Sadly, no. I guess I’ll be working on it this weekend. Any recommendations on good parts that can be sourced locally? Water pump, thermostat, and gaskets.

Hood up now…

I’m probably out. Pulled in to work this morning and noticed what looks like coolant dripping pretty heavily. Haven’t checked it yet, but I’m guessing a new water pump is in my future this weekend. Bad thing is my truck is at the dealer having some warranty stuff fixed. 😡

I can confirm this 🤣

The old “dad went to the store to get milk and never came back”.

It’s a maybe for me…
