ok im not sure if ive posted this already. on my 89 sierra i put a new water pump on. in the package there was a paper that said it was a reverse flow water pump. now from what stuff ive found on the net here is my understanding of it. on models with a serpentine belt with ac , those are the models that need a reverse flow water pump. i dont have a serpentine belt , ive got no ac all i have is a little skinny belt. i belive that means i need a standard flow water pump. now my temp gauge doesnt work i dont think and im not sure how to tell if its overheating. now i dont drive much longer than maybe 20 minutes at a time , and i always have the heat on. also when i squeeze the top rad hose it dont feel like theres much coolant flowin through . now the i feel the bottom hose its luke wamr but the top hose is wicked hot. now ive asked this on some automotive forums but nobody has really given me any answers . now i need to know if im correct or wrong before i go into vip and rip them new bums. thanks
