so PISSED off, I think my waterpump is going? Have to yell at shop!

Well I am going to have to go yell my old mechanic because the waterpump he put in is going out. Now when my car gets up to like 210 without the ac off in normal driving or freeway driving. I also have on a 160 t-stat, and watter wetter, and a new radiator. Well with the ac ON it goes up to like 220 and then will not cool down, I had to turn off the ac and turn on the heater and even then it was fighting to keep the temprature steady at 220 while moving. I have a 1 year warrenty on parts and labor with them, I am wondering if their is any way I could get some money outa of them and take it to my new shop, not likely huh? So it is the waterpump for sure right?

The waterpump is a remanufactured one and I had bleed the system myself so I know its done right.

Is it possible that he forgot to install the cam gear that drives the water pump? I almost forgot to do that once!

Why yell at him? parts fail nothing he can do about it,atleast he is willing to stand behind his work..
Now if he went out back and cast the waterpump himself in his personal aluminum casting plant then yes give him hell,his quality control needs work...
