WTF, thats ridicules. i thought they got rid of them stickers

Got the car back last night from the mechanic! He only charged me $200 versus the dealer quotes of $300, so I gave him $220. He said that the only thing now is that the water pump is making a little bit of noise that you couldn't hear before with the S/C drowing it out, and he can see the pulley wobbling just the slightest bit. No need to replace just yet as it's not leaking or broken, but he said he'd be glad to fix it for me when it's time! I have a mechanic.

Here's a vid of the idle; pants like a dog in front and purrs like a tiger in back.

i might have a water pump,

It's ok, I can afford $40 for a new one with the gasket; it's getting it replaced that worries me.

its so easy, any dumbass can do it. even Travis

whats the tic tic sound coming from the front? it sounds like exhaust leakes to me. i would pull the headers and inspect for cracks. mine did the same thing. and i found 4 massive cracks. my bud welded them shut for 0 $ ... its pretty easy to pull the headers. just take your time....

It's the water pump making that sound, the pulley wobbles a bit.

Corey, are there any special steps to replace the whole water pump? I remember seeing that the alternator bracket and steering pump are in the way.

Updated with more full-size pics in the 1st post.

i thought u whined and bitched for like 3 months about u gettin a truck lol

That was a while ago. I fell back in love with the Riv.

New driveby video!

nice video of a tree!

1:00, 1:45, 3:00, 3:30 are the times to watch for.

heh, you need to invest in some editing software

As soon as I finish investing in Sunoco 93...

the whine of the s/c allmost cancels out the thrush mufflers....

Thanks! Haha that's a compliment.

its true my friend.. the thrush dont sound bad..is that with the stock rez?
but why the negative mark on your post??

Yeah it's the stock resonator, they more or less make it sound like the last-gen GP's except louder. Just goes to show how loud my screamcharger is though!

for video editing use MS movie maker ... comes with Vista...

Whatever...I have better things to do while I'm on break. Gonna have the car washed, including the undercarriage, Saturday.

Dude how do you keep gas in that thing and the cops off your tail? I'd be stepping on that thing every chance I get just to hear that supercharger.

That's pretty much what happens, I'm addicted to the sound of boost. I love scaring people ever so rarely.
