Could have damaged the water pump or a bobble formed somewhere in the system and water won't move. But on that I'm not sure.

I'm going to pull heater hose today and check pump I really hope I don't have to change the pump as it sounds like a pain in the #$%%

I thought I might add I did not start untill after it had thawed for several weeks if that changes anything.

I tried pulling heater hose and turning over engine no water movement so I guess the pump is gone. But it is original pump so I guess it is time anyway. I a little worried about getting fan off of pump, it is left handed threads isn't it
