Nothing special on the water pumps. Just no "cheap crap" for the sake of the shaft seal/bearing. I have a FlowKooler on mine, but ran a store brand "premium" on the V6 before that without issue.
Thanks magnethead. One would hope that a middle of the line price would be a good pump. Not like this grandpa is goin racing!
Thanks
Metal impeller and GMB is a bearings maker. That's usually the part that fails.
Thanks, Dodgevity, order placed. RockAuto has it for almost the same price so went through them.
So now I have the radiator, both upper and lower hoses and the water pump. Anything I'm missing that should be done at the same time? I'll make sure the mechanic does a back-flush also.
Good point.
I actually have a new one but apparently I mentally had a cost limit for my list! I even found a new reservoir cap that cost about the same as the thermostat.
