A month ago on my way back from a barbecue my car started overheating.  The car just sat because I didn&#8217;t have the time or money to deal with it.  I decided to just take some time off of work and fix it myself.  After noticing the puddle of coolant coming from the water pump weep hole, I decided to change the water pump (part no. 21010-00003).  I had to go with an aftermarket pump because I couldn&#8217;t wait on delivery from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.courtesyparts.com\" target=\"blank\">Courtesy Nissan<\/a>.  Vic laughed at me for setting two days for the job, but I needed it.  Changing the water pump was hard at first but when I finished I understood how to do the job quickly (in another 156k miles, yeah right).<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ben010783.googlepages.com\/img_9885.jpg\" alt=\"Water Pumps\" title=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/div>\n<p>After putting everything back together and taking it around the block, I realized that the car was still overheating.  When I grabbed the lower hose to the radiator I realized the thermostat was bad.  Luckily, one Nissan dealership was still open, so I drove right over and picked up a thermostat (part no. 21200-0C811).  That job was much easier, but had to wait because I didn&#8217;t have enough sealant to for the gasket at the time.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ben010783.googlepages.com\/img_0075.jpg\" alt=\"Thermostats\" title=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/div>\n<p>I finally got everything working today (one week after starting).  I gave myself a four-day weekend and I didn&#8217;t shave for most of it.
