Well Volks,

    It finally happened.... water pump bearings shot.... coolant all over the
ground.... Wobbly Bus stuck up on the Air Force base again.  More parking lot
maintenance to follow shortly :::sigh::::

    Ordered a bunch of stuff from The 'Depot.... hope it all gets here soon.
Anyways,  I am asking advice on how to prevent water pump bearing wear so I
don't have to do this again in 3 years.  Gonna replace a bunch of little
stuff and flush, fill and bleed the beast, too....

Awaiting the List's wisdom...
