I just replaced my waterpump, was putting in an electric fan and the old one was making a bit of noise when cold. Cooling system was working fine though.
I replaced the pump, with a rebuilt and now I have a problem. The temp gauge goes up, way past where it usually does, I shut it down at halfway, usually temp gauge doesnt go up past O in normal. The top radiator hose is cold and feels empty. (like no water is going through it) The top of the radiator near the top hose is cool but the bottom near the bottom hose is hot. Pretty much the whole drivers side is warm. The heater is blowing cold air and I know the engine warm cause I ran it long enough and under the hood is nice and warm. Is it possible they put the wrong direction impeller in this pump or is there a ford application that rotates the otherway and i got the wrong pump, or did my thermostat coincidentally get stuck closed while the pump change was going on. Also it makes a lot of gurgling noises when shut off, could it be air in the system? I would think that might make it work poorly, right now it doesnt work at all and Like I said, nothing is changed but the pump.
