would be the pwrfect day to tackle that 2wd H2O pump, I went and got a
pump and headed home, 45 minutes later, wrong pump so I clean up &
head back to the parts store, took the old one this time, got another and
returned home, it was almost lunch so I took a break, checked the board,
and ate a bite, back out to the 2wd, so I finish it up around 1:30 or so, I
test run it, no leaks, so I put up all my tools, started her up for a drive &
she wouldn't move, hmmm, low on tranny fluid maybe?, so I topped it off
to no avail, she still won't move, I'm thinking ok the tranny is bad, I have
not owned it long enough to know much about it, about that time I hear
a whistling noise, pop the hood and I'm spraying H2O everywhere, it looks
like it's coming from behind the fan pulley So how was your day ???
last tuesday i was getting on the freeway when all of a sudden my truck popped into neutral. Nope I was still in drive. Must be the linkage came loose again. nope tight as a nats a$$ on a lemon wedge, must be tranny fluid, nope, right on the full mark, must be the modulator, nope replaced it and same thing, hmmm must be a dirty screen, nope clean as a whistle. Anyway I'm pulling it out tonight, im pretty sure it the forward pump, and im thinking pretty hard about replacing it with a TH400. Good luck to ya....actually to us both.
