Well I got the truck home and it needs a lot more than expected (which I figured would be the case). The tranny I think needs fluid since it takes a second to hit from park to drive or reverse, etc. There is a loud screaming or whinning noise like a belt but the guy said it is the new 100V Jegs alternator. I did the old broom handle to the ear trick. It is definately NOT the alt. It is the water pump! I dont see how a motor with less than 50 miles has a bad water pump already. Any idea what brand to get? I have to see if it is short or long, I am guessing short. I am guessing something along the lines of this...

It does NOT have to be polished though, IMO Weiand makes some good products so not sure...
I am going to do a compression testing on each cylinder in a few weeks when I get home from vacation as well.
Thanks for any info, suggestions and advice!www.streamlineautocare.com
