customers like meeting mechanics that are genuine cool as dudes too. Im sure you know what i mean when you meet a guy where you can automatically tell they're just good people. Wouldnt let nobody touch my car unless i got that vibe from them.

I shit you not man... i went to three mechanics and only ONE of them confirmed my diagnosis.. It doesnt happen often but heres the backstory for context why i said this, i used to work for a warehouse sorting packages during night time, when i clocked out i was feeling tired, so i drove home.. in the back of my mind i was feeling that my body wanted to clock out next so i got off the freeway and onto a back road or an empty road that isnt the freeway. Good thing i did because i passed out at the wheel doing about 25mph and i hit the curb and bent the axle. There was some damage and i knew it had to be fixed... but i didnt have the time or money back then to fix it. In total i spent about 2000 bucks... 1400 from the mecha in cali (if youre reading this, fuck you.) and 600 from the mechanic in texas (fuck you too) but the second mechanic i went to in texas confirmed that my axle needed to be replaced and after i told them the hell i went through, they were pissed at the mechanic i went to just prior to them. Im not trying to bash mechanics and give them all a bad rep but when you do this to customers who need hinest people they can trust to work on their cars, you need to know what youre looking for and where to look for it in order to solve the problem. My rant aside i wanna give you props and two big thunbs up for helping a customer whod been in my shoes. 👍👍

Did it stop the leak?

I absolutely hate internal water pumps. Daughter bought 2007 Saturn Sky and it developed a leak shortly after. I never worked on this style before and had to buy the special tool to change it. Was nervous the whole time, but it went smoothly.

Actually the cheapest coolant is water out of the hose. 😁🤔 Then once you find a leak drain it all out and put the correct coolant in it. Like you said you don't want to waste money on expensive coolant when you don't have to.

I don't envy you one bit here, the Chrysler 2.7 is such a can of worms. Water pumps, thermostat housings, head gaskets, sludge issues

The cheapest coolant is not pre mixed

The 3.5 in my Taurus has a similarly stupid internal water pump design. Dumbest thing ever invented. There's a high chance of catastrophic engine damage being done before someone even realizes there's a problem because the weep holes are hidden in places that are hard as hell to see. And that's only if it fails in the "proper" way. It can just fail internally and dump coolant straight into the oil pan and you won't know anything about it until your bearings are roasted.
