yeah thats kinda what i thought random and out of line
Well i made it home alright just picked up the replacement pump. going to let it cool down before i go out and attack it. Oh and no it not an old truck its a 99 Sonoma w/4.3L so it shouldn't be to much of a pain to take care of, its setup just like a small block V8

I have a similar problem. Did you see water coming out of the weep hole? How exactly did you know it was the pump?

I have an 01 Dime with 4.3

bro had the same thing but in a dodge, was the water pump gasket but might as well do the pump since its a 99(if pump is original pump)
