Remember that ''Puddle Free" statement I made last fall.....yup..didn't last long!
I hope everyone's well!!
Seems like my Water pump is leaking and I dove into it last night. Pulled the Radiator, Water pump, Alternator, pullys etc....kinda weird but I broke a bolt on the waterpump but an easy one, not one that goes in the block, luckily!! Now that I'm to this point, there's a lot of sludgy oil and coolant around the bottom of the timing cover so I think I'm gonna dive in further and replace that too.
Couple questions....my radiator seems to work well but its seen better days, if I replace it, what would be a good replacement? My motor is a 351w with a C4. I'm current using an external tranny cooler with a fan, but my current radiator has the cooler(just not using it). The truck runs cool...at least it did great after I got it back on the road last fall. It always ran hot prior years but I flushed and changed the thermostat in the fall and it seemed to help a lot.
Also, sorry if this is a loaded question, but what vender has the best fitting Timing cover, Waterpump, Timing chain set(I'll determine if I need this today), Gaskets, Radiator and Complete Bolts set?
Thanks!
Mike
