    New water pump did me no justice except to lighten my wallet a couple hundred bucks, tomorrow it goes to my friends shop so he can play with it,at this point I'm pretty sure the heads have to come off but he wants to check a few things first starting with the air compressor ,time will tell!
  5. MACKS
    Ok the hell with it,gonna swap out the water pump for a new one and see what happens,at 400,000 miles I guess it's due any way!
  6. MACKS
    Dam I already re installed the pump but not completely the fan is still off, thinking maybe refilling with coolant and run it for a short time with out the belts just to see if it still gets air in the system, if I don't see air bubbles at the water manifold or radiator then I will replace the water pump.

    Why would it cavitate , the impeller looked like new, there is no play and it turns nice and smooth.I know the water should be gushing through with out the thermostat in but it's not. Thanks for your help.
  8. MACKS
    Running with out the thermostat I see very little water movement and now the air bubbles are going to the radiator, drained it again and took the water pump off and took that apart, looks fine, guess there is only one thing left and that's the head gasket, time to bring it to a real mechanic.

    Ok thanks for come back,removing the thermostat now just to see if I get some water cmovement,if not water pump will be next,I cracked open the water lines from the compressor and no air bubbles at that point so do not think its air compressor, I'll get back later,thanks for help..

    Try what I said,crack a plug in the water manifold or the bleeder on top of the thermostat housing,My engine is getting air bound and it don't stop.
  11. MACKS
    If it were a liner or a head gasket wouldn't I get at least a residue of oil or fuel in the coolant. the coolant is perfect as is the oil.no smoke or smell or whit stains,so the air compressor could cause this say if it blew a gasket or o ring or something.
  12. MACKS
    No water moving at all..

    Still having a problem,some how air is getting into the cooling system, if I crack open a plug on the water manifold after the truck idles for a bit there is no water just air, once the air comes out than water but the air still keeps bubbling out,if not a head gasket where could it come from, air compressor, any one ever have this problem? Coolant is perfectly clean and no coolant in the oil..

    Your totally doing the right thing,a lot of truth in that old saying a healthy body = a healthy mind,good luck and you are a beautiful girl.

    I think it was something like that,I drained it out again and re checked the thermostat, refilled and opened a few plugs' and got all the air out,went for a good ride and all is well,still hard to warm up at idle,the fan seems to be fully engaged when cold,that could be another problem.

    1996 e-7 350 mechanical, runs perfect, problem started as no heat just starting blowing cold air,temp was a little below normal, if I race the engine to 1400- 1600 the heat comes back,thinking thermostat I changed it and now its worse, I had the truck running at high idle for 20-30 minutes no heat,temp gauge wont budge, no water circulating at all,don't think its a head gasket no water in the oil and no oil or fuel residue in the water,is it possible something happened to the water pump internally, anybody ever have something happen the there water pump that could cause these issues like maybe the impeller broke or something?

    The thing is if the wheels of the truck are turning then the transmission is turning and the clutch bake is not going to stop it unless your just rolling very slow and use the clutch brake to stop the truck witch you should not do.
  18. MACKS
    The clutch brake is used to stop the trans gears from spinning to ease in shifting into gear but ONLY when the truck is at a full stop, engaging it while the truck is moving or even rolling very slow will brake it.

    Jay from Ironmart online has an 05 Granite with 17.5 steel body listed on his on-line site.

    Agreed, also turkey and from what Im told a few ounces of alcohol a day is good for your cardio system, a top notch vascular surgeon told me this..

    Ha, last time I went to court for an over weight ticket I was only allowed to say guilty or not guilty and then the judge got mad because I didn't have enough money to pay the fine,lol Good luck

    Something is not right if your only getting one or two years out of them, or was that before the new springs and trunion work.

    10,000,you can save a whole bunch of money doing it your self if your capable, even if you gotta borrow a few tools.
  24. MACKS
    You should have just told him you run 80/140 in the trans..lol feel better.
  25. MACKS
    As stated above as long as the crank and cam is good I would do an in frame rebuild, I've always used reman heads with no problem but you do have to give them a good core.1300 a head is for what, new with no core, it's been a while but that number sounds crazy!!
