I have a 1999 Chevy Lumina my father gave to me in his will (which replaced my POS Ford van, which went to the junkyard because I didn't want to replace the rack-and-pinion, which was gushing power-steering fluid).

The water pump and the thermostat went out at the same time, and the belt needed to be replaced. So I took the old belt off, changed the water pump, replaced the thermostat, put the new belt on, and put in fresh antifreeze. Now it again runs like a champ.

Turtle is amazing and and can do anything!

Oh, yeah, the fuel pressure regulator went out a few months ago, and I changed that, too. It was leaking a little bit of gas.

Cynicom is jealous of me.

My first car was a 1974 Comet with a straight six. I had to pull out the radiator to change the water pump because the bolts holding on the fan were about a half inch too long, and there was no way to get the water pump off without removing the fan. Did all this outside when it was about ten degrees.

I used to have one of those boxy middle '80s Caprices, which are easy cars to work on....except for the water pump. I had to loosen the power-steering pump to get to...that one last bolt.

As for the '99 Ford Vic I had....it took me two days to change the water pump.

Sometimes I think engineers do this stuff on purpose just to mess with backyard mechanics.

Of course, we all remember you cruising around in your creepy Ford Windstar Van. You'll never live that down.
