[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 659216, member: 3103"] I don't keep shutting it down, it's my next test point. What I keep "pointing out" is that I had all my old cooling system stuff still in place and it began overheating. Which is why I wouldn't think the water pump initially as the old one was working seemingly fine before. That's why I kept looking at everything else as well. I agree that I hope it's the water pump. I've got a new one sitting right here in the shop ready to swap out. Today I ran it with the cap on, and barely made it around the block before it hit 210 in under 3 minutes. A buddy pointed something out, with my new radiator setup, when the T-stat opened I should notice a temp drop for a few seconds while the cool radiator fluid moves into the engine. It doesn't, it stays hot and gets hotter. Did the exhaust gas test today and it passed, no exhaust gasses detected. So my next plan is to remove the T-stat and then remove the top hose. Fire up the engine and it should pump all the water in the radiator right out of the hose. That should give me a good indicator of flow from the pump before I pull the whole front end off. 've got to take my entire front end down to get the water pump swapped out as all my March performance pulley brackets use the WP as a mount point. Thus why I wanted to eliminate everything before I went back to square one. [/QUOTE]
