I'm sitting in the repair shop lobby waiting for a simple fan clutch repair.....two water pump bolts snapped off and a closer examination revealed that it was about to fail (leak). So.....new water pump, belt, fan clutch, coolant change. Shit.

Better to find it out now than on the road?
It could have been a blown motor ...

Mobil 1 FTW!!! I'm aiming for 500,000 miles before I need to put another bullet under the hood.

I got 185,000 out of the original Jap water pump, this will be Chinkernese water pump #3....

I'm glad to see a purely personal, linkless page here. In lots of my places, bluenoses swoop down and put the kibosh on anything putatively off-topic. Understand the reasons, but hate that.

Damage to the tune of only $361.00 I was there until noon, shop owner only charged me 2.5 hrs labor after I walked across the street and bought them some pigs-in-a-blanket at the donut shop :) They race dirt track cars and are excellent mechanics, they always take care of my truck on the maintenance/repairs that I can't perform.

That is good deal. A coolant change alone, at a dealer, is something like $125. That's why I don't go to dealers except for some parts - coolant and oil filters and plugs for example. I have shade tree mechanic I trust who's been doing it for decades for a living...cash on the barrel.

Great return on your snack investment. Good deal all-way round.
