In Reply to: Overheating - how about water pump? posted by Don in NH [96.61.88.160] on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at 22:02:53 :
I plowed again this morning, without incident, but I didn't waste any time. There is water moving through the radiator this time, but the bottom is cooler then the top.
But something has changed since the first over-heating, in that there is a racket coming from one of the things spinning things on the front. It could be the water pump, alt or hydraulic pump, but I'm thinking it would be a funny coincidence if it weren't the water pump.
Maybe a tired pump against slushy/frozen antifreeze pushed the water pump over the top?
Thanks for the thoughts. I'll let you know what I find.
