Hey all,
Haven't posted in a-while. Saturday i replaced my waterpump with a metal impellar unit from
www.spmotorsports.com , new w.pump drive belt, thermostat, temp sending unit for dash under t-body, coolant flush and redline water wetter.
well everything was okay after i found out i had installed
the wrong t-stat cause it was misboxed. i had to tear it all
back apart on monday and after that it works perfect now.
My temp gauge stays right in the middle now and never moves
before it went from N to A all over. Now it stays between
the R and M all the time. and it heats up faster on these
cold winter mornings. any one who has not replaced theres
yet and suffers irratic gauge readings you should do this to
waterpump-$75 w/ shipping
t-stat-ford part-$19
temp send unit-$22
waterpump belt-$13
coolant-$10 2 quarts
waterwetter-$8
I recommend all these parts for DIY guys and gals, it was worth it to save my engine and fix a annoying problem.
