Got a late start today and am working in the heat. Taking my time and taking frequent A/C breaks, on one now
Got everything removed and the new water pipe installed so far. Old one looked to still be in good shape and didn't crack while removing.
Water pump took some work to get out and the impeller was cracked and missing some small pieces.
Thermostat was stuck open.
Alternator was a pain. Not looking forward to installing it.
Going to eat some food and then see how much I can get back together before dark. Then wrap it up tomorrow.
This site has been a great asset and I have been referring to it all day.
Thanks!
