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,
I have the Simpson w/p which takes threaded fittings. Get the fittings that have the features to hold the hose. You can also use clamps with spring loaded screws that stay tight. You can find these at bus and truck parts suppliers. You may remember my car blew the w/p to engine hose right after the WCC04 breakfast. They were very old and hard so they actually burst with the pressure and heat. Make sure the hoses at the front of the engine are secure since they are the most difficult to replace. Felix |
