2000 Ram 1500 V6, 3.9L
My drive belt burned through due to friction from the water pump pulley NOT spinning (it won't turn by hand and is completely seized). It happened on start-up so luckily no overheating occured. I'm hoping I'll have to just change out the water pump with new one, however, I'm wondering if something more sinister has happened. I don't see any coolant anywhere but did smell some prior to it failing. Even after it has failed I don't see any coolant on the ground or around the engine or pump.
I guess my questions are as follows:
1. Should I expect anything worse that the water pump itself
2. What are the common sense things to replace in addition to the water pump, since I'll have it all broken apart anyway.
One more thing: Fan and Fan clutch seem to be ok. Can't really test the fan though since nothing is spinning.
Thanks!
