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.

God that sux! Carpet is ruined! I mig'd a bead of weld on all my steel cooling lines to prevent the hoses from sliding off. I drove the car to the MWC 04. We arrived late on a friday night. When I came out to the car on Saturday am I noticed some anti-freeze on the ground under the car. I checked my clamps and discovered a couple were loose. I think it had something to do with the harmonics of the engine at highway speed for 700 plus miles and the expansion and contraction of the heating and colling cycles. I tightened than up and they were fine. After you run the car for a while go back and check them.
BTW: I only have one clamp per connection. I thought I remember something about the Renegade pump causing cavatation if you rev the motor before the "T" stat opens. |
