Ok thanks btwilson86, I did find that there are two hoses that are adjacent to the water pump are swollen. I purchased a brand new water pump today just in case and it was the last one that they had in Denver out of all of their stores; and I'm going to change out the two hoses and see how that works. Would you change out the water pump just to be safe? I don't have any idea of all the parts on the engine; if I had all the money I needed I would replace everything with new parts just to save the headache for at least another 22yrs...lol
