Thanks for the nice words, Jim. I replaced my water pump in June or July of 1999, and now I have to do it again...it's leaking coolant out of the weep-hole. Last time, I got a pump from my FLAPS, while this time it is from Bus Depot. Home the Bus Depot one lasts longer! If the weather is nice next weekend, I'll be installing the new pump. I'll also replace my entire exhaust system at the same time. I purchased all the pipes from Bus Depot and the stainless muffler from Stebro...look for a new article on my website in 3-4 weeks. Of course, Jim, I hope this doesn't mean your exhaust will need to be replaced soon, too. :o
