IP: Logged
Message:
Ok.. I took this truck down to a dealership and they told me that the waterpump is bad and along with some hose in where water was visible leaking out in that area. I cannot remember what he said and I cannot get a hold of him, but what other hoses that is hard to reach, and it looks as if the front pulley and the rad and everything in the front has to come off.. How hard or easy is this to fix?
Thanks in Advance Guys
