Anyone Around east FL that could help me with a waterpump on my 2000?

[BruceM]

I'm down from albany to deliver a transmission and pick up a car to bring back to boston and my waterpump decised to take a crap on me. Thankfully I have most of my tools with me and could do this, but I don't know about doing it in the parking lot of a part store.

I believe that I am in or near a town called Mims? just off 95 about 40 miles north of Cocoa Beach. If anyone could lend a hand please give me a call at 518-209-9773

Or if anyone wants to make some cash trailering me up to Jacksonville I have a Uhaul trailer on the back of my truck to which my truck could be loaded onto. I brought an 08 Toyota Seqoia down to GA on it, so my truck SHOULD fit.

Anyhow if anyone out there can help please let me know

Thanks

Hope someone sees this. I'll keep it bumped to the top for you. Good luck!

I wish I was there for you. As long as you have the fan clutch wrenches you should be ok.

no fan clutch wrenches :-( I did pick up a new pump at napa in Titusville FL. Course in my drive from there to a hotel I think my truck was completely out of water.

I topped it off before I left the napa, but I'm not feeling good about this at all now. it was only a minor leak from the weep hole but by the time I got here to this hotel it's pretty bad. Lets say no water in the lower rad hose bad. course the engine still starts and runs fine right now, and I filled it up with hot water from my hotel room, and ran in for a few minutes and have heat at the dash and seem to be getting some flow thru the radiator.

Just have to wonder if it may be too late and I pushed it to far trying to get to someplace reasonable safe to do this. The guys at Napa said I didn't want to be caught there after dark working on my truck :-/

Sucks that I am 1100 miles from my shop in albany, ny with a limited assortment of tools (mainly needing a ladder for the 6in lift) and in a days in parking lot outside the Kennedy Space Center waiting for the engine and the ambient air temp to cool so I might be able to work on this.

If there is anyone in the area of 3755 Cheney Highway in Titusville, FL and knows of an autozone where I could get the clutch tools please give me a call or stop by :-) Look for the Orange F250 with a 6in lift and its owner curled up in a fetal position under the engine.

so it seems that advanced auto 2.8 miles from where I am sitting has the fan clutch set. Now I just need to find a good way to hold the pulley.

so after a bunch of walking to find the tools, I begin this project, only to find out that the fan nut tool from advanced auto seems to be bent or otherwise mangled. So now on to walk another 6 miles to have them replace it so I can try this again.

I am soooooo kicking myself for not packing my huge adjustable wrench that I use for swapping hitch balls on my reciever. That would SOOOO work right now.
