Trucks been running great. 101 ocean cruises every day it doesn't rain too hard. Went out to garage earlier today and UH_OOH!!!, Green drips all over under trucks front!!!, Drug out the creeper and what do i see? Coolant and rust coming out the water pump weep hole!!!!. Took a screwdriver an scraped the the area around the weep hole and got another nasty surprise. My "brand new" water pump is not "Brand new" but the 24 year old one form the original engine just repainted.. I can see the weird red anti rust i painted on in 1996 under the new black. The narcotic addicted "mechanic" is now long gone along with the $ i forked out. Good news is found a brand new pump on line for under $30 shipped. Hopefully The new pump plus about $160 in labor will make the leak history. Paying twice for something is painful.
