OK, I don't mean to hijack, but I imagine this question could benefit both Andy and myself. When you say, "reverse rotation water pump", what exactly do you mean? A stock WP for these trucks turns clockwise, while a WP from a serpentine system turns counter clockwise. My question is, can a pump for the year vehicle the serp. system came from be used? Don't they both flow the same direction, just turn opposite ones?
