try slacks truck parts here on gainesville for the pump ring, good bet belts as well, there is a cummins parts as well as a few good BIG truck dealers in town also

thanks for thanks 73m... any good idea on 2 broken bold that hold on water pumb

yep, pull the rad, then if you can, weld a nut to the broken bolt/bolts, weld INSIDE the nut to the top of the bolt, should with the heat/weld be able to turn them out, then CHASE ALL the bolt holes, a LOT of anti-seize on the RING and the BOLTS on install

 

[ODdave]

Ditto, Weld them out. Its by far the best way!

 

[biggen]

now how would i do this ...weld in (sorry pic is no where near the best) the only bolt that you can see that broke off is right side middle. the left side middle in there pretty good. the right side in the block about 1/4 in. and left side middle in there real good.......so how would i do the weld with those? if i can even do it still

I'd just lay a nut as close as you can get it to the broken bolt and weld thru it. Has worked for me very well in the past.

 

[biggen]

what about the left side any idea on that one???? just looks like the left side is going be a fun filled day somehow

 

[73m819]

get some LEFT HAND drill bits,, both are weldable, make sure there is no kids around, other wise they may LEARN bad words

 

[jwaller]

I can only see the one but I'm sure the technique will work on both.

 

[ODdave]

Both easy extractions if you are a good welder. I use this method on all of the aluminum head engines I work on. Mostly exhaust studs on triton ford engines and have never had one refuse to come out and I can say I have easily done over 150 studs. For the one below the surface use a mig to biuld up the shank on the bolt untill it starts to protrude from the hole, then set a nut on it and as said fill in the hole. Keep in mind your gonna need the welder hot so it all flows together for a strong weld.

KEEP IN MIND, Once you weld it your not gonna drill it , so make the decision you are comfortable with the first time.

might try left hand drill bit BEFORE welding so you have an alternate method....

I have had excellent results with left hand bits. I agree with Welder Sam and give them a try before welding. Good Luck!

I would squirt some PB Blaster on the bolt wait ten minutes and then drill it if you go that route.
