When I started my truck up this evening the engine sounded nearly like the muffler was off of it. i was driving it down the road and was thinking why it sounded so rough and loud, and I noticed the lights beginning to flicker a bit on the dash lights and then I noticed the temerature gage was all the way over to Hot as far right as it could go.
I had driven it for 10, maybe 15 minutes by then I pulled over and I noticed , not much but just a bit of smoke coming out of the hood area, it soon stopped.
I called the Auto parts store and spoke with a gentleman there who told me that it was probably my water pump being locked up and not to drive it.
I had a new water pump put on at the Toyota dealership I think last June (not this June of 07 , but the previos June) when I had a new timing belt put on.
I think my engine is non interference, but I was wondering if I did any serious damage or not to it.
I left it there and will have it towed in tommorow to the Toyota dealer
