Let us know what it does to your 0-60mph time hendrixx.

I got my waterpump replaced under the 3k warranty I got when I bought the truck. The garage smelled like antifreeze every time I parked it. Took it in and they said the waterpump was bad, replaced it and haven't had a problem since.

Had to take an emergency trip last week to California. My HHR fan has been sitting in the garage waiting for me. Probably this weekends job.

Its not a bad job, took me 45 minutes.

the wobble was the waterpump pully thing. And the water pumop worked but i didnt trust the wobble and the screetching was obnoxious

i kinda missed my electric fan because of the horse power she had even tho she was compelety stock other then the fan and the Gibson set up. i want to go back but only thing that does is give me nightmares if i do it will this one keep it cool in the winter time because the other one couldn't... u would touch gas and spin like hell and the temp would start to raise. hendrixx... good luck with it even tho i talked to u ealier about ur cooling problem.
