Last time folks, the discussion went into the radiator hose. It seems to disintegrate and cause the pump seal to fail. Someone mentioned that a Ford mechanic told them of the procedure to solve the problem. Long flush, change hose, presto no problemo! Anybody have more specific info so that my ford mechanic can call or look this up and give me the service that I need? God help the WATER PUMPS!

Important change : Long *back*flush Debris lodged in the radiator, heater core, and block must be backflushed out - seperately if possible.

Upper hose does disentigrate and cause the problem from what I understand. Upper hose is the big molded hose... An ounce of prevention provides a pound of cure!
