I noticed a puddle under my truck thought it must be ac related , next day i heard a squell and pulled over notice my belt had striped apart like pasta i dont want to chance driveing it to the dealer. I started it up and turned ac on to see if it made any difference then noted leaking antifreeze under truck does this mean i need a water pump and a clutch for the ac...? It gets better i made an apointment on monday to replace my rusting oil pan. when it rains it pours is an understaement . rockman

Welcome to the ORG.!

The water pump may have locked up causing the belt to fail. Can you tell where the coolant is leaking from. Did the ac work?

What pipe layer said.

If you get your oil pan fixed they're going to pull the motor and flip it upside down.

Is there a way to change the oil pan without pulling the motor...........cant they drop the tranny..........has anyone tried this it seems like it would cut the cost by half...rockman
