water pump

Hello, I am stumped and am at a loss. The radiator on my explorer is not circulating so I intially thought it was the thermostat and changed it. That didn't work so I also flushed the radiator. Still the same issue. When you turn the car on with the radiator cap off you can hear the car change...

Hello! I noticed antifreeze leaking onto the ground towards the front of my 1996 Explorer Sport a couple of days ago. Last night it seemed worse and by this am I could see a steady drip. I took it to a Monro shop today to get the oil changed and told the guy of my issue with the leak. He said...

I have an 02 Eddie Bauer with 85 K miles. About a week ago, I noticed a stain on my driveway that looked and smelled like coolant, and the coolant level was low. I topped off the coolant, and today I noticed that the level was down again. I don't have any obvious leaks, and the last time I had...

Own a 96 Explorer XLT - 4.0 with 177K miles. Last weekend, in removing the water pump, I snapped a lower bolt. A friends father heated up the housing with acetylene and I was able to grab onto and remove the snapped bolt with vise-grips, but I now see that the heat "deformed" the left...

My 01 Sports Trac has started overheating in the last day or so. I bought it used less than a month ago. When I first bought it, I was filling the coolant every few days. Now the coolant is full but I'm overheating. I'm thinking it could be the water pump or possibly thermostat housing. Need...

Hi guys, this is my first post here, although I've used the forum for help a bit in the past. I recently replaced my heater control valve on my 94 xlt after it started leaking after an overheat, and now I'm seeing a leak from somewhere around the water pump, but I can't tell it it's the water...

Gods Grace and Peace, I been trying to find a source of the leak of anti-freeze I have noticed, I've looked at all the hoses as best I could and nothing there,I've looked all over the radiator and nothing there, it seems to be somewhere close to the alternator and a pulley and seems to be above...

The water pump on my 97 X with 5.0V8 EB went out the other day on my way home. I got it in my garage and started tearing everything apart, got the fan off and out of the way. I had full access to my water pump. I was able to get all bolts loose except for two of them. The bolts started to...

I've got the 06 xlt v6 4x4. Just replaced the radiator and thermostat as usual. Now I have coolant coming from either the water pump or one of the smaller hoses connected to the bottom of the pump. I've read some threads about the pump going but has anyone had the small hose go instead? The...
