Sound of a Failing Water Pump

Pity they couldn't fit the undersized pulley and a low temp thermostat for you while they were at it. Both of these are great mods I made this last year.

@woodsman:

That's the labor rate for an independent. It's about the going rate where I live. What most important to me is that I trust the shop. It's not worth it to me to find another that I don't know where I might save $10-15 bucks per hour. A couple of years ago, I got burned for about $4K by going to a another independent with a 'great' reputation.

@RandallNeighbour:

Goo suggestion. I completely forgot to ask for an undersized pulley because I got fixated on whether the impellers had disintegrated and the potential cost of trying to find all the pieces in the engine.
