Water Pump Replacement
#11
Wildbill,
Our local dealerships take it out all day long. Just like dexcool is supposed to "prevent" corrosion.....and cause headache upon headache..... It's really prefrence, and supposed to be better for the enviroment IIRC. BUT I've been switching all vehicles,(that customers request)and have yet to have any problems with cooling or corrosion. Considering the only thing thats changed is the radiator I could understand switching causing corrosion issues. But as I said, I've yet to see it yet.
As always, just speaking from my experience!

Make sure you go with napa...And another note on my first post, If you feel uneasy about running regular coolant you can add the additives that are similar to the HOAT , EL and Dexcool coolants, Somthing like water wetter.
I've had some customers request that.

Well im looking for the easiest solution at the fastest possible pace that wont damage my truck. Is there something I could buy or make (like the water and coolant) that I could do within a few hour time span. Like coolant from NAPA or autozone and then jut get some distilled water?

I really want to do whats best for my truck but I need to do it quickly to get it running again. I will put a water pump and if that doesnt work I will put a new radiator until this overheating problem stops.

Can i run water and a cleaner through it for a few days? Or should i put coolant/water and the radiator cleaner?
