Leaky water pump

So the engine heats up and the thermostat closes... Restricting the water in the radiator and cooling the water...

But not cooling the block, it's only cooling the coolant.

NO the engine heats up and the stat. opens

Yep - stupid typo...

And if the thermostat is properly installed, it's reading the block water temp and regulating the coolant flow for the block, not the radiator...

Because I read your "typo" post...

Let's just say we agree to disagree?

LMAO! The management classes have been working huh?

Oh shut up.

I'm back had to eat a hambuger and a
Don't give up EB, the pump pumps the water out of the block to quick to cool it once the stat opens.
It takes a few miles but it finaly catches up and overheats on the highway. At least mine does, on the trails it's fine.( high flow pump) With a reg. pump it's fine on the highway but runs on the hot side on the trails.

I'm back too. I was booted off the computer by my better half. She claims I'm "addicted" to this forum.

See, I told you, now I have proof!!!

Newton's law of cooling, states that the rate of heat loss of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures between the body and its surroundings, or environment. The law is



Q = Thermal energy in joules
h = Heat transfer coefficient
A = Surface area of the heat being transferred
T0 = Temperature of the object's surface
Tenv = Temperature of the environment


The heat transfer coefficient, in thermodynamics and in mechanical and chemical engineering, is used in calculating the heat transfer, typically by convection or phase change between a fluid and a solid:



where
ΔQ = heat input or heat lost
h = heat transfer coefficient
A = heat transfer surface area
ΔT = difference in temperature between the solid surface and surrounding fluid area
Δt = time period, s

See what you made me do CJ? I had to prove how big of a nerd I am.

Here's a good read on cooling systems The Novak Guide to Engine & Transmission Cooling for Jeeps

Thanks EB because of that I needed some to make my head stop hurting .

Alright, here's another one on me. Because finding it in the mountain of tech and training manuals I have saved on my computer gave me a headache too

I can always use an excuse to drink some

 

[elwood blues]

I don't know what you're talking about, you started this mess...

 

[jswatson0917]

All I did was ask for some help with my water pump

 

[coldwater]

Things I have learned. When your water pump leaks, the seal is gone, and a rubber band aint gonna make it feel better. A high flow pump on a stock engine / cooling system made my engines run hot. And if I can do it, I love cheap stock parts! I'm a carpenter, so I never over think anything, I just fix and move on. And so, I will leave you eggheads to argue amongst yourselves as to why.

 

[kicknjeep]

Nope I agree if broke fix it, if it ain't broke don't fix it and drive the out of it until it is.......
