it wont work for long

 

Truck was purchased new by me... it is coolant, took a sample into our chem lab at work. Looks like a water pump. Is that common on these trucks? Truck has 66000 miles, never been touched mechanically

 

never serviced it? you're doing good. mines been in the shop twice for oil leaks. now its outta warrenty bc of the 6.2/6spd swap

 

Nope, mine went in about a day after i got it for a fender to be repainted (rail car damage, strap came loose and rubbed thru paint) and it also had a very small transmission leak, pan bolts were loose.

I recently thought i had a rear main leak, but after puting dye in the oil and running it it turned out to be a bad oil filter, it had started to seperate at the crimp near the base.. (carquest filter)

Other than that it runs great and asside from a squeaky belt and a squeaky door hinge the truck hasnt been touched..

 

Any way you can get a video of this sound?

 

Past two mornings it hasn't been doing it..

Apparently it knows i am going to tear into it if it doesn't start behaving..



I figure if i have to tear the water pump off, might as well do a cam swap..

 

These water pumps are usually more reliable than 60k but every now and then you get a turd seal or something. May still be covered under the powertrain waranty on an 07 though so if you can confirm a bad pump I'd give your dealer a shout.
