Ok, I just got in and fired it up, it was running fine and when I went to accelerate, the hose popped off the water pump and dumped a bunch of antifreeze. I know I had them all very tight. does this happen a lot? If it does, how can I make it so it doesnt to mine? Its a stock Renegade pump. This SUCKS!!! Antifreeze all over my garage floor, which is carpeted by the way.

Double clamp em... If that doesnt work, tripple clamp em...
I have them as tight as my wrench can go within reason (tighter than a screwdriver... Yes.... those waterpumps put out A LOT of pressure... Possibly scoring the waterpump part might work as well.. All of mine are double clamped. Andrew |
