Today was a long good day.. The car has been running good but it just didn't feel right. You know how it is when you here a new noise you don't recognize. Man it keeps me up at night wondering what some of my noises are. Messes with my head
.
This morning I pulled the hole front end off the and found some loose bracket nuts, also started looking at where Stillen tells you to mount the water pump (Driver Side Wheel Well). I decided to move it to the passenger side.
I relocated the PS Cooler lines down and cut out a cavity so they tuck up and out of the way. I smoothed out the core support for a good mounting point and Bammm it's mounted! The oil cooler lines run right around it and barley clear the pump. Its a radius bend so not worried about it, no sharp angles. I was able to remove about 4 feet of AN12 line by relocating that pump. Now it sits below the reservoir and has less work to do to move the water into the heat exchanger.
I also found my 25 amp inline fuse was blown. Ironic it powers the pump and I have no idea how long it's been off. I'm going to rig a small blue LED in the cab as an indicator light for the pump. That way I'll know if it's off or on. I've been blowing hot air in the engine, no wonder it didn't feel right.
All fixed and a few less noises..
Sorry no pictures, I know;
. Sorry
