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.

On purpose. Federal regulators' purpose.

We have an '01 Deville and a '10 Sierra.

I pop the hood and think, "there must be an engine in there somewhere."
