 Subject: HELP!! Replaced waterpump..!?!?
IP: Logged
Message:
I have an '02 Dodge Dakota SLT. The Waterpump had been going out for about a month now. I am fairly broke so I decided to replace it myself. Everything went fine until the very end when I rushed through the final pieces. I forgot to put the gasket on the inside of the waterpump, and I filled the Engine Coolant OVERFLOW tank and not where the fluid goes in the hose... So... When I had figured this out, I had driven a little over 5 miles and saw smoke starting to emit from my engine. I just pulled over and left it there overnight and after all the smoke went away when i turned it back on, there was a slight clicking noise.
Yesterday when I went back to it, installed the gasket, drained the overflow, filled the right part... It was leaking?? It would start to overheat quickly... lots of smoke.. but I was in a rush so I drove it anyways.. The clicking is my main concern at this point... it almost makes my engine sound like a Diesel Engine. It overheated fiercely and I had to leave it there.
WHAT IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?

You might have had air in the radiator hose so nothing was flowing.

You may want to start looking for a replacement engine. It
sounds like you burnt the original engine up. I don't think you
saved any money changing that water pump yourself.

If you couldn't change the water pump correctly do you think
you can change out the engine? Hire someone.
