hi,
I have replaced my water pump and have it completely installed, I have filled the overflow tank and radiator with antifreeze and have even poured some down the tube that goes to the thermostat. However when i start the truck the pump does not seem to be catching a prime. I assume that the antifreeze i poured down the tube to the thermostat is not even entering the pump due to the thermostat being closed because the engine is not warm. How do i get the pump to catch a prime?
