Greetings, friends. I hope you are all well. I am still resting, but I had to do a little repair work because the truck broke down and I had to deal with the situation quickly to prevent further damage and more expense.
A few days ago, the truck started overheating, and the first thing I did was check the electric fan, but it was working fine. Then I checked the water reservoir cap, since it builds up pressure and when it breaks, the temperature rises, but no, that wasn't the problem either.
But I noticed that there was a small water leak, and it was coming from the water pump, so I figured that the pump was damaged. I decided to take it out, but first I had to go to a customer we do work for at the workshop to see if he had that part, since he has a small spare parts store. And sure enough, he had one, so he gave it to me to fix the truck's overheating problem.


Removing the old water pump from the engine was an odyssey, as it had become very difficult to extract due to its age and had become firmly stuck to the engine block. However, after many blows, the damned pump finally came out and we were able to remove it and install the new one.






But after installing the new pump, everything was different. The car had better water circulation and, of course, more pressure, which meant that all the pressure clamps had to be adjusted.
Here in this country, there is no quality control, so we have to make do with the spare parts we can get and often pray that they will last a reasonable amount of time because, in some cases, they don't last at all. I hope that's not the case for me.




Later, in another post, I'll tell you about other problems I had after the water pump was fixed. Here, we say that when things happen to us, if it's not one thing, it's another. If we're not in jail, we're being persecuted. But the good thing about this is that you learn, and that everything has a solution.

Gracias @guiltyparties por todo su apoyo sin duda mereces toda nuestra confianza como testigo de hive

Todo es una lucha en estos tiempos y la calidad de los repuestos ha bajado mucho debido a las importaciones chinas.
Esa es la triste realidad
Gracias 🫂
