update to water pump replacement
FYI, Decided to go with pump kit from Powerstrokeshop.com. They operate out of Wabash Ford Sterling in Indianapolis, In. I compared prices at all major aftermarket parts suppliers and nobody came close to their prices. I also decided to replace the drive belt and upper and lower hoses. Have the truck torn down and new parts should arrive tomorrow. To anyone who chooses to tackle this job I reccomend a suitable tool to hold the water pump pulley, a 1 7/8" wrench and a long cheater bar to seperate the fan clutch and water pump. Aside from that part everything went smoothly and I'm looking forward to getting my truck back together.
