REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

(2) Coolant leaks; if the seal is leaking, this will be
evident by traces of thick deposits of greenish-brown
dried glycol running down the pump body and com-
ponents below. A thin black stain below pump weep
hole is considered normal operation.
(3) Impeller rubs inside of the cylinder block 2.0L
engine. Impeller rubs inside of the water pump hous-
ing 2.5L VM diesel engine.
(4) Excessively loose or rough turning bearing.
NOTE: It is normal for the water pump to weep a
small amount of coolant from the weep hole (black
stain on water pump body). Do not replace the
water pump if this condition exists. Replace the
water pump if a heavy deposit or a steady flow of
green/brown engine coolant is evident on water
pump body from the weep hole (shaft seal failure).
Be sure to perform a thorough analysis before
replacing water pump.
ADJUSTMENTS
BELT TENSION GAUGE METHOD
Use belt tensioning Special Tool Kit C-4162 for:
CAUTION: The Burroughs gauge for the Poly-V
belt is not to be used on the V-belt. These gauges
are not interchangeable.
²For conventional V-belts affix the Burroughs
gauge (Special Tool C-4162) to the belt. Adjust the
belt tension for New or Used belt as prescribed in the
Belt Tension Chart. For a Poly-V belt affix the Poly-V
Burroughs gauge to the belt and then apply specified
tension to the belt as prescribed in the Belt Tension
Chart
Adjust the belt tension for aNeworUsedbelt as
prescribed in the Belt Tension Chart.

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The instrumentation gauges on NS vehicles are
contained in a subdial assemblies within the instru-
ment cluster. The individual gauges are not serviced
separately. If one of the cluster gauges becomes
faulty the entire subdial would require replacement
and all gauges will have to be calibrated. Refer to the
proper Body Diagnostic Procedure Manual for cali-
bration procedures.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
The mechanical instrument cluster with a tachom-
eter is equipped with a electronic vacuum fluorescent
transmission range indicator (PRND3L), odometer,
and trip odometer display.
The mechanical instrument cluster without a
tachometer is equipped with a cable operated trans-
mission range indicator (PRND21).
