The wife told me yesterday that the 62 was running hot. She brings it by my work thinking I just have to add some fluid, then to my surprise the shaft for the pulley and fan has fallen out. The fan was resting on the radiator and the other side against the other pulleys. Needless to say she drove my truck home.
So here is my question, what do you think the problem is? I know on some cars that's where the water pump is, is that the case here? I don't have any shop manuals yet but I guess that's the next investment. The engine has almost 300k on it right now. Should i just bite the bullet and swap the engine? I live in rural Alaska (not the bush just rural) so my access to mechanics is pretty limited and my supply lines are pretty long too.
Fire some ideas at me please, I looked around a bit for ideas but am just getting a little overwhelmed.
Thanks for your time!
