water pump problem
noticed a bit of water under truck last few days. getting worried about it not being a/c as i did not have it on today i checked it out. its my water pump. a little pin hole on the top of it. only bubbles out at an idle. problem is i need truck for work, 150 km round trip next 4 days and cant get truck in any time soon. any easy fix to solve problem for a week or so? jb weld?? its only small leak, bout 1 gallon in last 200 km. any suggestions or am i screwed until it gets fixed. thanks for info.

if it's anything like my '01 it's a simple 10 minute job that I did myself.

it's simple to replace water pump.... two bolts hold it on , it would take longer to replace coolant than changing the water pump[laugh][coffee]

change it out two bolts. just did mine

If you can't get to it till the weekend it is not the end of the world. A small leak tells you the seal is bad. I've had two fail. The first I drove from Los Cruces to Phoenix and changed it in the Cummins parking lot. The second I drove from northern Iowa to central Iowa and again changed it in the parking lot. If there isn't a Cummins place near you, Case tractors also use Cummins engines and their dealers are everywhere.
