Crap, forgot what he was working with. Good catch. He should look for the 2.5 version.

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

Got the right part this time... Only $36.
Amazon Amazon

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.
