Well guys i am on my third waterpump and third serpentine belt. This time the pully let go but the beraing was fine. I chose to buy a LASSO this time and hope my troubles are over. I also found that the parts store are showing the wrong belt size. This is for the Dayton application. I had to take it up manually. Theromostat replaced 12 months ago.

Now to my current problem.
New waterpump installed.
Car burped properly.
New belt installed.
Temp normal and not showing hot.
Coolant not down but red light still flashing.
This morning I turned around after 10 miles and got back home. It was 25 degrees outside and the engine blower fan kicked on even when the temp guage said normal temp and the motor was OFF. What gives??? Relay, resistor???
I must also mention that the car did overheat this last time prior to replacing the waterpump.
