Well, now... I think that's pressing it a little.

Fastest ever {modern era - think I could'a done a sixties SBC in 30 minutes in my sleep} for me was on a freakin Aerostar 3.0 of all things. About one and a half hours, total.
Of course that was in a parking lot. So gathering all the tools didnt count as it would have if it were in my driveway.

And I KNEW there had to be a 'down side' to fail-open T-stats. Just saw it, above.

Haha dont worry, not looking for sympathy here. I was just surprised at how the whole ordeal happened.

Anyone else have the waterpump shred so bad it threw out shrapnel?

Just hope thats a one time event... Thanks for the suggestions!
