If your bumper still has all its paint your not low enough

be happy you towed it to a dodge dealership.. it'll probably cost less. hehe.

How'd you know it's the water pump?

What happened? Was it making a loud whine? Water pump for my fiances dohc grand am was 450 bucks labor included..

i know it was the water pump because it wined for a week i thought it wasthe alt bering then the temp shot way up past hot and water was pouring out the housing for the water pump. my girl firend also works for the dealer ship so i will get a discount

If your bumper still has all its paint your not low enough

I guess the water pouring out of the pump was probably a good sign that the pump was bad...hehehe...

ok os it $700 and i still dont have it back yet they put it back together yesterday and took it for a test drive and said that the altnator belt was eating its self up. wtf i just put those on like 100 miles ago. mecanic said it happens alot has it ever happened to any one hear

If your bumper still has all its paint your not low enough

they do eat belts sometimes but not for no reason they probally forgot to tighten down the tention pulley or they put the crank pulley on cockeyed

I edited to the wiki!

No tensioner pulley for the alternator. They probably put the crank pulley on a bit off I would guess. If it was your PS/AC belt \then it would probably because of the TSB out there.

my bad I didn't see the alt. belt was the culprit
