This truck's water pump wasn't leaking, but its gaskets were. So instead of replacing a good pump with a cheapo or a $100 [url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C5HQW8]Motorcraft PW254[/url], only about $10 of gaskets were replaced ([url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007DKPDQQ]Mahle JV1034[/url]) using [url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0008KLOG6]Permatex 20539[/url] around the coolant journals. Since this is a '96, it has a misfire detector, and the conduit for those wires was jammed on a stud, causing a backup wrench to be needed for removal. The bolts were sandblasted, painted, & reused. The thermostat was also replaced as preventative maintenance, and the alternator bolt tab was welded back onto the heater return pipe.](https://www.supermotors.net/getfile/1172058/fullsize/waterpump.jpg)
