So, I have had a new water pump sitting on the shelf in my garage for a while (2 years) and today I decided it was time to replace it.
Mine was one of the recall trucks, no weep hole.
I also had the coolant filter kit sitting on the shelf so that went on too.
All went fine until I started the truck to run it up to temp and check the coolant level.
After about 10 min I hear a sound and something rubbing.
I look under the hood and see the belt is completely loose.
I shut off the truck and look further and find the water pump pulley is off WTF...
I bought this from Geno's so it is not an eBay buy or something like that.
Anyone ever experience this?
I have a Gates pump and new belt on order from Geno's but truck is out for a while.
