Ok the "Graphite Roadster with a Stick" is going to get a new water pump early next week. Thing is, I have this "policy" that I usually replace EVERY hose under the hood when I do this. This is a policy that has served me well.

Thing is, I do NOT want to go to the Dealer for these parts. Searching on the various sites, I am not finding much more than the two mail hoses to the radiator.

Um......... never had this trouble with my pickups before. Where do I go to get "all them hoses"?

Save your money on the hoses, sell it and get the SRT, you know you want to.

 

Do a "search" on water pump here on the forum. There are a lot of bolts holding it on and it is critical to get the right bolts back into the right place. I just replaced mine (including the 2 hoses and thermostat) and found the advice from others very, very helpful. 1 hour job.
