Subject: Re: 1984 Water Pump by jhammons01 on 2008/3/15 2:33:44 So, now after getting every thing back into the engine compartment......and only a broken plastic clip as an "Extra part"....I took it for a spin.....ran perfect. One thing that came out of this situation. I was having real issues on cool days and the water temps dropping below 160°F. Once it went down this low in temps and always on the highway...it would drop out of O/D abruptly....Sooooo I found myself having to "watch" the temp gage while on the highway.....what an aggravation. Well with CCs good advice [yet again] I purchased a 180°F Thermostat and popped that thing in there. It's Cold tonight....went for a spin....the temps only dropped to 175-177 while in Overdrive........Perfect!! For me, Case closed. |
