Thank you, I was not thinking.? I am a drivability tech. Do much say less I have to say for me. My thinking was if the water pump (one cause of many) partly jerked by binding the pulley had motion then suddenly stopped at the exact time the pump bound. Does not matter now. I fix with most good...

Thanks for that good to know

Yes you may be right about a binding pump come to think of it. There was another Corvette I did about 3 years ago newer to this one 2001 that had a overheating issue and I had put a new pump into that one but the customer who knows a lot about cars a custom car graphics girl, said it overheats...

Yes the vette was back, so did not hear from the lady again. Also I did not post this, but both the tensioner and idle pulley were so badly deformed. I have not seen this anytime in my 46 years in the trade, have any of you? I will attach a picture. The other thing I would like to know is ...

This is a specific post to my original query to the overheating 95 corvette with the water pump whinning issue. In the end I decided to best remove the water pump for inspection after doing a pressure test with no leaks found. On removing the unit, it was found that the impeller splined drive...

Thank you for the insight. Fortunately at 68 years of age I am pretty flexible, but you are very correct about back being sore. I will get detailed pictures and a sound bite of the noise if I can produce it without other interference. I cannot for some reason get an AC Delco water pump don’t...

Thank you for the pictures. Your shop look very good. Very much like the British shops when I lived in London. I will send you some pictures too in a few days. Thanks a bunch

Thank you so much for the advice XFIRE 82 for the generous information. I know for sure the noise is directly on the water pump but not sure if it is the unit or the drive from the engine. Coolant fans were off at the time. I don’t do a lot of corvettes due to the very low clearance under...

Thought I mentioned that, it is a 1994 corvette 5.7 litre convertible. The lady said last week when it was hot here in peachland she got home and she could hear the water gurgle in the engine. She also lost a bit of water. This is what I did. Pressure tested coolant tank cap and it failed...

Dear club members. Have a C4 corvette in my shop with a coolant overheat issue. The water pump is noisy and whines loud. I put my hand on it and it feels like the pump. Could it also be the internal drive. I have a new pump Cardone but am reluctant to replace it if there has been issues on...
