Frozen water pump?
Alright, just went over today and charged my battery on the good ol mustang. Started it, and a ton of smoke was pouring from the front. Shut it off and checked the alternator belt which was extremely hot. I am wondering, it has been very cold up here on and off, could it be possible that the water pump has frozen up on me? The second time i started it, no smoke, and the belt wasn't even turning. I didn't get a chance to inspect under the hood while it was running for the minute it was. So if it is the water pump, is it possible for it to loosen up possibly if it gets a little warmer out? Or should i just throw on a new pump?
