something else is broke... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ocbaud · 09-13-2007, 12:39 AM

so, the truck is pretty much running(though needs some carb tuning) but i've noticed that when it is running, its making a loud screatching noise from the engine...

i disconnected the power steering pump and its still happening. i think i've tracked it down to my water pump that i guess is going bad. maybe thats why it got 200+ yesterday when it was running.....

i'll post a video in a minute when youtube loads it. hand spinning the pump it makes an awful groaning sound.

turn the sound up

I had to replace the water pump in my buddy's dad's V6 Sonoma, it had the sounds you describe. His bearings wore out and the impeller started digging in the walls of the chamber. Water pumps should be dead quiet when spun by hand.

Hahaha! First time I heard it on the video, I totally thought it was you or someone else there making that noise.

LMFAO!!

I was like why the heck is he making those weird sounds? That makes it really hard to hear the noise he is trying to diagnose. lol.

MylilBowTie · 09-13-2007, 11:43 AM

I think Ive heard that sound from kids. That dont want to get up and go to school.

Pyrotechnic · 09-13-2007, 02:10 PM

Man that really does sound like someone mumbling jibberish. I really though someone was saying "turn it on!" in the beginning.

ocbaud · 09-13-2007, 05:21 PM

truck is running now. the old water pump was going bad.

but guess what? now my freakin heater core is leaking!

but the truck is running and has full exhaust on it now. still need to tune the carb a little bit as there is an off idle stumble

Prerunner1982 · 09-13-2007, 07:36 PM

waterpump going out already? you havent driven the truck that much in the past year or two... have you?

it sat since march

heater core is now replaced. carb is tuned better. has fresh 91 in it. i am happy for tonight.

Ric83 · 09-14-2007, 10:16 AM

Good to hear. Get some sound clips of it now.

ocbaud · 09-14-2007, 07:15 PM

just replaced the power steering pump. it is better now

no more noise from it and the steering feels a lot better.

though i did notice something that really pissed me off!

to go with the theme of this thread, here is yet another part that is broke...

my frame is cracked at the steering box! yes i know its pretty common, but still! i guess the best fix is to get one of the repair kits that weld in to reinforce it?

pcmcobra · 09-14-2007, 08:57 PM

pics?
I want to know what to look out for.
bummer...

bigtruck81 · 09-17-2007, 01:03 AM

as much as i hate to say it... Offroad Design is the place to go for the repair plates, and add a brace while you're at it to prevent this from happening again.

May I join the above request for pics of evil things to keep an eye on?

killthewabbit · 09-17-2007, 02:07 PM

Count me in for pics if you got 'em. I'm almost afraid to look, but I bet I got some issues at the steering box as well.

Here you go guys.. my truck did this too but I blamed in on the larger tires and the abuse I gave it. As you can tell it pulled a whole chunk out of the frame and then started cracking up the frame.

killthewabbit · 09-17-2007, 08:54 PM

Without seeming like an idiot, where is the steering box in relation to that crack?

OK, without seeming like more of an idiot.

Srubydo1986 · 09-17-2007, 09:00 PM

killthewabbit · 09-18-2007, 08:27 AM

Ah, OK. I see it now. Thanks, Srubydo.

Thanks for the pic, Prerunner
