Please help.....
I have a 2002 Corvette. I have NEVER had any problem out of it..then my AFTERMARKET underdrive pulley separated, so I took it to dealership and they replaced with factory and I sent defective one off...I will NOT say their name UNLESS they refuse to replace a pulley with UNDER 7000 miles on it...since that day in the shop if my car sits still for about 20-30 minutes running the coolent temp will go all the way to 253 degrees and at this point I turn car off (it may keep climbing in temp)...so i replaced thermostat and had coolent flushed and filled.....well, guess what it IS STILL running hot?????
What to check next????

Is you aftermarket underdrive pulley the same size as the stock on they replaced?
Most aftermarket pulley systems are designed to reduce the rotation of the accy. so that more power can be found...
From the limited info, sound like you have a mis matched set of pulleys now...

well why would you let them replace it with a stock pulley if you had an aftermarket...?? sounds like you had some other things adjusted to go with the pulley hence you are having issues...

It sounds like the water pump isn't turning! Did the belt get installed properly? Did the adjustment to fit the underdrive pulley cause the belt to be loose over the water pump pulley?
