    Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 4
    A stain around the weep hole is acceptable. However, if a weep occurs with the engine running and the coolant system pressurized, then the water pump should be replaced.
    Product Description
    An ACDelco GM Original Equipment Engine Auxiliary Water Pump is used in some vehicles to pump engine coolant during certain operating conditions. While your engine's main water pump is mechanically driven and stops when the engine does, an auxiliary water pump is electric and able to circulate coolant after the engine is shut off, keeping coolant flowing to where it needs to go. These original equipment auxiliary water pumps have been manufactured to fit your GM vehicle, providing the same performance, durability, and service life you expect from General Motors. ⚠ WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
    FAQ - Question 3
    Can a malfunctioning water pump harm my engine?
    Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 1

    FAQ - Question 2
    Do all water pumps look the same?
    FAQ - Question 4
    Does the water pump affect the temperature inside the passenger compartment of my vehicle?
    FAQ - Question 5
    Does the water pump work when my vehicle is turned off?
    Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 2
    Engine Overheating - If your vehicle's engine overheats, it may not be receiving the required coolant flow. Make sure that your vehicle's cooling system contains the proper level of coolant.
    Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Header

    Features & Benefits - Bullet 2
    GM-recommended replacement part for your GM vehicle's original factory component
    Good Maintenance Practices - Section 1 - Bullet 3
    Inspect for leakage at the water pump outlet housing or the rear cover gasket, and leakage at the water pump vent or weep hole.
    Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 4
    Visible Component Wear - Worn seals, corrosion, cavitation/pitting of pump components, or a loose or wobbly pump shaft are all signs of wear that may lead to water pump failure and should be addressed.
    Signs of Wear & Troubleshooting - Section 1 - Bullet 1
    Leaking Coolant - Puddles of coolant under your vehicle, a constant drip or stream of coolant from the water pump's weep hole, or a constantly empty or low coolant reservoir are all signs of potential water pump wear, and may be caused by cracks in the pump, or seal or gasket failures.
    Features & Benefits - Bullet 4
    Manufactured to GM OE specification for fit, form, and function
    Programming Required
    No
    FAQ - Answer 2
    No. Water pumps can vary greatly in size and appearance depending on the vehicle they are designed for.
    FAQ - Answer 5
    No. Your vehicle's water pump keeps coolant moving as long as the engine is running, and stops when the engine is turned off. If you want to be able to circulate coolant for a short time after the engine has been turned off, an auxiliary electric water pump is needed.

    Tips for Water Pump Inspection:
    FAQ - Question 1
    Will ACDelco GM Original Equipment Water Pumps, Kits and other components match the quality of my GM vehicle's original factory parts?
    FAQ - Answer 1
    Yes. ACDelco GM Original Equipment parts are equivalent to your GM vehicle's original factory components.
    FAQ - Answer 4
    Yes. As part of regular cooling system operation, the water pump sends hot coolant to the heater core of your engine, which transfers heat into the passenger cabin of your vehicle. If this hot coolant is unable to reach the heater core, then this heat transfer cannot occur, and your passenger compartment remains colder than you want.
    FAQ - Answer 3
    Yes. The water pump is responsible for moving coolant through your vehicle's cooling system, keeping the heat generated by your engine at acceptable levels, and helping prevent overheating. A malfunctioning water pump can cause your engine to overheat, which may result in severe and costly engine damage.

    Great Product, Cost, Shipping, Installation
    I'm not a mechanic though I'm handy and have plenty of tools. After watching Atlantic British videos on YouTube I decided this is something I can do to stay in budget. After power washing oil off the area I spent the first day removing the fan clutch assembly which required a large narrow wrench (I chose to use a large crescent wrench) and removed the old water pump. Next I cleaned the area again with the power washer. Next day I installed the new pump with gasket noting which bolts came out of which position, then removed the protective plastic thread collar on water pump and reinstalled the old fan clutch assembly. The only frustration came trying to keep the gasket in place while positioning the new pump. Some gaskets come with a tacky side to stick to the pump or engine side and that makes it easier to keep it lined up. Future suggestion perhaps.

    Water Pump
    I received water pump in a too large box, not packed to keep boxes from moving around. I have not installed water pump due to weather changed & too cold & wet.

    Loved My Service.
    The part was in a padded box tightly secured and everything was perfect. It was a new part with all the seals included. It was very easy to install and is working like a champ. Now all my male friends come to me to get their parts online for the great prices and great quality parts.

    Purchased For My Boyfriend
    This was a replacement part as the original started to leak after 100k miles. It was fairly east to install ourselves and had no surprises that came along with it (wrong part or just didn't fit right).
