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.

Scott, Drilling holes in the Tstat will help to releive "some" of the pressure at startup. I also had the same thing happen on a road test once. I checked my rear view mirror. Complete whiteout, pull over and found a long trail of antifreeze following me down the street.
I also double clamped the hoses and have not had the problem since. CCLINANTIFREEZEPOLLUTER |
