Check your water pumps!

This is more for the high mileage people, or those that have started running motors that have been sitting. I had no flow through my heater core, pulled the pump and had an impeller that was worn flat. :shock:

Save a picture?

The pics on this IFSJA thread looks nearly the same, that's what got me thinking as my temp seemed low after a new stat, along with poor to no heat after playing with heater cores.

Looks like someone missed the last 3 or 10 coolant changes since it was new.

I changed mine when I got it 2 years ago, before that it sat, I don't know how long, a lot of the other stuff looked well maintained on the truck, but not this I guess.

? When changing out the H20 pump should one go w/a stock or a high volume pump. Me I prefer the stock but I'm a 258 guy so a little help would be great cause my 360 build has been siting for 3yrs. Thanks, Jim
