95 Oldmobile Acheiva, quad 4 DOHC, roughly 80K miles on it. Friend of mine has been told by a garage that the "fins"of her water pump are going and it should be replaced. symptoms include a squealing noise which we thought was a belt at first; and short drives send the temperature near the redline. And she said one side of the radiator gets hotter than the other. We've replaced the stat already, and had the radiator power flushed. Anyone out there done a pump on this car before? It looks like I have to rip apart half the engine just to get to the pump. (including the timing belt). Just curious if this is an afternoon do-it-yourselfer, or should she just suck it up and pay the dough to a professional. (no offense of course, just trying to save her some money). Thanks

I want to install a device in my truck that will give me these two indicators, external temperature and compass heading. I don't want to spend two hundred dollars on a Gentex rear view mirror and I want the job to look professionally done, like it came with the truck. That leaves out the $10 Velcro stick on accessories they sell in Walmart and Pepboys. I'd be willing to put out maybe $50 for this type of gauge. Does anybody know where I can get a high quality gauge that I could install in my dash that will provide these indicators? Or perhaps they make ones that will fit in a dummy switch opening in the dashboard and keep me from cutting it up. 2001 Ford Ranger Thanks!
