Long story short, I've been frustrated lately because my Truck. One busted heater hose fitting (right at the intake no less) and a bad water pump all in one week had me UN happy with my autos. That's a notorious problem with those OBS gm fullsize trucks. Glad to hear you got it back together. I had a crack in the fitting. I could see where it was leaking. At the time I didn't know it was leaking. As soon as I touched it snap. Right at the intake. That was Wednesday. I owe my father BIG time as he fixed it for me while I was at work. Friday when I got home, smelled antifreeze, checked and it was pouring out of the WP. Now that it has been changed I think it was going out for awhile. Some noises went away. BTW after changing the pump on my truck 97' Vortec, the temp fluctuates. It doesn't really run any warmer than it did before. But it does swing between the before temp, and a little lower. I was told it could be air in the system. How do I bleed it?

But it wouldn't idle. So I changed the drivers side plugs. Still wouldn't idle so I kept it running and burnt out some of the old nast gas on the passenger side plugs. Will idle just fine. I just need to change the other side and she'll be running like a champ!! This makes me feel REALLY, REALLY GOOD. Long story short, I've been frustrated lately because my Truck. One busted heater hose fitting (right at the intake no less) and a bad water pump all in one week had me UN happy with my autos.
