I'm about 80 miles from Applied GMC in Newark, CA, where I'd like to get the problem fixed... Water Pump has symptoms of bearings going bad... and weep hole is crying fairly excessively.
Symptoms began about a week ago... I have driven maybe 100 miles with current symptoms :-S
My question is: can I drive the 80 miles to Applied GMC, watching operating temp closely the entire way? If water pump bearing fails or seizes, will I have time to pull over without destroying the engine?
I don't have tow coverage
Any feedback or tips greatly appreciated. Feeling worried
