I started the car up yesterday and heard a rattle from under the hood so I pulled the serpentine belt off and sure enough, the pulley on the water pump has tons of play in it so it will be replaced today. Not that this is a mechanics forum but since there are no live sports right now, I thought I'd fill you guys in on what I'm doing today.

The guy who played Johnny Ola in "The Godfather Pt. II" was Uncle Junior in "The Soprano's".

Now explain to me how I can remember that bit of arcane knowledge but can't find my car keys?

Dont worry, if this thread gets long enough you will learn everyone here is a certified expert mechanic.

It happens every time you open the hood on the car. You'll go looking for something loose, fix it, and there are 20 guys giving you tips on what you might have missed.

I refer to it as the "Dale Gribble Effect".
