is my water pump ok? i've been having overheating problems latly ever since i put my iron block in . i tryed to fix it with dual spal fans that do the job very well , except when the AC is on .
even driving down the hiway in 110 ambient temps the car would overheat untill i turn the AC off. i changed the thermostat and i have a becool radiator.
this all leads me to the question , today i took the belt off and as i spun the water pump , a faint but noticable whirring noise (just like something was rubbing the pully) was coming from the waterpump. is this sound normal , or is my water pump going bad.
this is the stock 99 pump that has 65k hard miles on it.

Re: is my water pump ok? Your pump sounds like it may be going south if it is making any whirring noise when you manually turn it with your hand. I may have an almost brand new water pump that has less than 400 miles on it in a week or two for you for a pretty good deal.
