About a month ago I went out for a cruise and the Viper
just decided that was the day to overheat. After talking
to the gurus and tinkering about a bit, the consenous was
a bad water pump. I replaced the pump but nothing has
changed.
She's a 99 GTS with basic mods. When I let it idle it
warms up very slowly, almost like normal, but then
suddenly spikes to 245d (where it holds until I drive.)
The water pump gets scalding hot, but the hoses only
manage luke warm, and there is no heat inside. I also
have no pressure to the heater core until the coolant
begins to expand. My friend is convinced its a bad
head/gasket since it spews large amounts of cold c
oolant everywhere when you pop the cap off.
System is properly bled and the fan works like normal.
The OBD reads same as temp gauge.
So is it possible I scored a bad new pump, or did I s
omehow manage to warp the head?... or something
else entirely?
Any thoughts?
