On my 95 GMC Sierra there was a hose coming out of the firewall that went into my waterpump with some type of quick release type fitting that was leaking so I removed the quick release by cutting it off the hose and connected the end of the hose to the radiator at the top where there was a rubber plug installed. I also installed a metal plug in the water pump where the quick release was. This seems to be working fine and my brothers 92 GM with the same 5.7 motor is set up like this from the factory. My question is Why was my truck set up like like this? & Will I hurt anything by changing this setup the way I did? Thanks, Philip Wolf
