You want a 50/50 mix on the antifreeze. (much cheaper to mix it yourself).

Ethylene Glycol doesn't transfer heat as well as water is why it's 1/2/-&-1/2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol

 

and blood.

 

I done been prasticn' on thatn' n' gotr' down to near ZERO! Crazy glue...never helped anyone.

I once cut my hand badly wearing surgical gloves, because I didn't feel a sharp edge. Something to watch. Was my knuckle maybe.

Glad you got it! Don.

 

UPDATE!!!!

Let the new water pump dry overnight (Sealant) put antifreeze and water 50/50 in and started her up. Engine sounds great. NO MORE RATTLE!!! Woot hopefully that fixed it for good. If you're having the same problem it wouldnt hurt to change the water pump unless its new. i got a brand new one from advanced auto for like 34 bucks and 10 or so for a gallon of coolant.

 

bump for anyone who was following this

 

Glad you figured it out and it was a simple fix. Your pics of the waterpump didn't work however, I'm curious to see the condition of the water pump based on the noise....

 

how hard was the water pump replacement? and does it make the noise go completely away?

 

sorry does this work?


noise is gone, the pump was sorta easy to get out, i suggest taking the fan out first, we didnt, it was a b**ch getting back in but then again we didnt take the fan off.

 

Just a check up to see if the jeep is still running well....did that in fact cure the rattle by replacing the water pump?

 

Yes sir
