What are the symptoms of a broken water pump in a truck?

[SanJuniper]

If the water pump is damaged, the coolant cannot circulate within the engine, which affects the engine's heat dissipation. If the engine's heat dissipation is compromised, it can lead to engine overheating, potentially causing damage to the engine. Relevant details are as follows: 1. The car's engine relies on the continuous circulation of coolant for heat dissipation. If the coolant cannot circulate within the engine, the engine will overheat. The water pump provides the power for the coolant circulation. 2. The coolant has two circulation paths within the engine: a major cycle and a minor cycle. 3. When the engine is just started, the coolant undergoes the minor cycle, during which it does not pass through the radiator, helping the engine warm up quickly. 4. Once the engine reaches its normal operating temperature, the coolant switches to the major cycle, passing through the radiator to dissipate heat, thereby maintaining the engine within an optimal temperature range.
