Kyle,
Actually, all three problems, it was leaking water from the weep hole,
making really strange grinding sounds and the engine was over heating.
Having built engines in the past, I fired up the truck, took a piece of wood
about 2 feet long (gives you clearance) and began checking places that I
thought could have something to do with the grinding noise. You place the
piece of wood on the part that you wish to check out and put your ear next
to the other end (be careful not to stick the wood into the turning fan) and
listen to the sounds of the various parts. A good bearing will have a
smooth (whine)sound while a bad bearing will emit a harsh (grinding?)sound.
This process will pretty well tell you what part is bad (will also work on
altenators, distributors, and any other part that uses bearings, but is real
tough trying to run along side a moving vehicle to check out wheel
bearings).
