Jerry, is there any chance the t-stat is installed up-side down? your radiator would really have to be junk, if it is that blocked.Water pump failures, are usually a leak, from the seal. The impeller would have to fall off, not to pump.I've seen new defective t-stats, take it out, as a test and see if you have water flow then. Dave.-------------- Original message --------------

Thanks listers for your answers..I think it could be the water pump, as after the motor heats up, I stillcan't feel water running through the upper hose..(it's easy to squeeze thehose), the lower hose is new and not collapsed.. and the 2 heater hoses running to the servo have no water in them .(the servo is stuck on "cold", no hot air in car, fan on 1 speed, but that'sanother story).. and one of them got hot enough to melt the black plasticalternator connector wire housing slightly...I will also check the radiator. too...JerryHOT 73
