Do all of you guys think that fluid is flowing?
Spike,
I totally get that without the tstat the car will take some time to warm up, but shouldnt the radiator get a little warm? the tstat housing was super hot after running the truck for 15 min.
I'm just hurtin for cash (like most everyone I know out there), but I am ordering an OEM waterpump tomorrow morning.
MrMoMo,
I like the idea of checking the gauge with one of my camp stoves. I will be free to do this in about 2 hrs and I will post up the results.
dbleon,
The block is REALLY hot after I run her for 15 min. Last time I ran her until almost red line then shut her off. Radiator: cold. Engine block: to hot to touch, T-stat housing: not to hot to touch, but DAMN HOT.
Will be checkin gauge per MrMoMo in a couple.
Thanks for all the input!!!!!
Patrick
