yes, I managed to mangle it again . . . (1 Viewer)

[DSRTRDR]

cruising along at 70 on the highway, a bit more noisy running than normal, and then a sudden SNAP - after which it ran quieter and smoother

luckily, I was on my way down an off-ramp - at the stop light, steam came out of the hood vents - radiator fluid all over

 

[DSRTRDR]

never leaked in 6 years

the second and third pic show scores on the propeller and on the inside of the housing, respectively - the shaft is moving around sideways and parts are rattling in there now

 

[youmustbecrazy]

bummer, that sucks!

 

[Fast Eddy]

At least you didn't break off bolts in the block. Easy fix. Did you have to get towed though? That sucks?

 

[Cdaniel]

Better in town than out in the back country.

Good luck with an easy fix.

 

[DSRTRDR]

new pump is already on the truck - runs just fine - lucky to have avoided greater carnage

yes, AAA Plus - towed it to where I wanted it, no questions asked - they came within 40 minutes of my call - real easy

Your fan did not go through your radiator or hood...you do not have any problems.

 

[DSRTRDR]

no, the fan only spread the radiator fluid everywhere under the hood

Probably due for a wash anyway.

Good that it didn't crap out on you on some trial in the sticks.

Hard to imagine you didn't hear any grinding / squeal, before it went ????

 

[hellbent40]

wow... guess you got the full life expectancy out of that pump and then sum..

 

[John McVicker]

Just for drill...do you know how many miles...how old that pump was ??

[DSRTRDR]

anybody's guess

if the motor was put in by the same PO who put the lockers in, it has been in there since '89 - the water pump had no TEQ stamp, so prolly changed at least once since then

I got the truck in 12/2004 - likely didn't put more than 15,000 miles on it myself

 

[Tools R Us]

That was damn fine mangleage. The bearing balls attempting to escape around the fan flange is good stuff!

 

[-Spike-]

Shame on you Claudia. That's a known failure in that style pump. I can't believe you didn't replace is as PM. I believe there's a thread somewhere about getting Toyota to do a recall on that pump, look into that.









I can't wait 'till you get an 80 series.

 

[jonah]

i think for the $ i would put on new one on and skip the tow .

Don't stray to the dark side Claudia. The 40 force is strong with this one. Listen not to the sith, stay with us.

the tow didn't cost me anything - AAA

the new pump is on there and works fine - I wheeled it today ;p

yeah, there is only so much left to mangle by now
