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

 

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.
