Just wondering if anyone ever experienced the w/p impellor seperating from the shaft, well, not spinning inside the w/p housing. Gonna see for myself soon, just need some time to yank the w/p off, just don't seem to have an extra hour anymore. Let me know if anyone has ever heard of anything like that. Later
never actually seen a 5.0 water pump, but if there is any kind of plastic holding the impeller to the shaft it is very possible. and before you laugh your ass off, mid 90's bmw's had plastic impellers and break all the damn time causing overheating.
