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.

Did you put the 1/8 inch holes in your thermostat?
If you don't run a heater loop I think the water is not circulating through the motor and the pressure of the pump will cause problems. As an added plus the small holes in the thermostat help purge the air. Easy fix and it works. George |
