I have the whole day free on Sunday to rip off the front end and put on a new water pump. Suggestions??

The dealer also said that b/c its over a 5hr repair I may have to pay the remainder. He also said that my gauge pod may make other dealers think there were more than just gauges put on my car.

Take the mbc off and exhaust and take it to another delaer. They might have red flaged your car thou.. If you can do it yourself, then do it, i would also do a leak down test bc you might have a damaged head gasket due to the overheating. Keep us posted

I'm pretty sure they didnt red flag me b/c I asked the service mgr if they put it into the computer and he said they didnt. I'm going to try and gather some guys in my area to do it, if I can then I'll do it on sunday but otherwise I'll be taking the car in monday morning. I'll be sure to do a leakdown test.
