[QUOTE="MANbearPIG11, post: 9340876, member: 90597"] this sucks for ya but at the same time i agree with the above. I just graduated from highschool last year and took higher level mechanic classes. i dont need to be a ford mechanic and have built a "bitchin" car thats in ur sig to know that you were taking a shot in the dark to replace your water pump and thermo. both of those things can be tested before replacing them (stick the thermo in a pot of hot water, ect) and if your a master mechanic why didnt you replace them yourself? a new water pump can be had for <$150 and a thermostat isnt much more. you could have replaced both of those (which didnt need to be replaced) for less than $200 and could be done in a few hours on a weekend. not defending this kid but at the same time i think your approach of this whole situation is a little childish in its own. i dont see why the whole motor needs to be pulled to solve a cooling problem. do a leakdown test, pressure bleed the coolant, check the oil, ect. like i said, im not a master mechanic and it seems like your blowing things out of proportion and guessing at how to fix the problem. best of luck [/QUOTE]
