Water Pump Replacement Suprises?
My 1993 F150 with 5.0 EFI need a new water pump. What suprises should I look out for when doing this? What pointers does anyone suggest when doing this? Does the radiator come out? Should anything else be removed, grill? Thanks in advance for any answers.

do not remove the radiator, but you will have to take off the fan, belt, hoses, blow by hoses, and the ac power steering bracket, and it would be a good time to change the thermostat and temprature sending unit if its bad. It takes a long while to do. So dont have anything planned for the whole day.
