Gearing up to tackle this project Friday night. 1998 with 84k miles and it started squealing, drove it home, parked it in the garage and it started self draining. I pulled the belt and there was play in the pulley (bearing/bushing shot). I did notice that it looks like the squeal is due to the pulley rubbing a bolt on the engine.
I was bummed that Pelican was out of stock on the composite blade water pump but I found it online at another company and it should be here today. I already have the low temp thermostat. After reading some of these posts I'm curious about what antifreeze to use and the proper way to refill the system. I do not have the vacuum airlift system - can this be done without? How much antifreeze should I have on hand for this project?
