if water comes out of the radiator when I take the cap off does that mean my water pump is bad

Asked by Andrew Dec 11, 2015 at 04:55 PM about the 1990 Dodge RAM 50 Pickup Extended Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1 Answer

Is the car running when you do this? No - the water pump circulates water but won't make it overflow. Never take the radiator cap off a hot car as you may be severely burned.
