Water pump went out...what's next? My water pump puked all over the street yesterday. No big deal though, since it was WAY easier to replace than on my old LT1, plus no opti to worry about. It only took a few hours to replace and I'm sure if I had to do it again, I could probably do it in an hour.
Anyway, I expected things like this go bad on a 100k plus car. The hoses and belt looked fine so it looks like the previous owner maintained the car decently, but what's going to go next? Alternator? Fuel pump?

Well I now have 152,000 miles and I am now on my 3rd water pump and second alternator since I got it at 62,000 miles. Other than a window motor ive been pretty lucky

Power window motor = no biggie. I did the Autotrix mod on my old LT1 and it worked fine. Even though my motors seem fine right now, I may go ahead and do on this car as a preventative measure.
Rack and pinion on the other hand seems like an expensive issue. So far I have zero leaks coming from the car, again, unlike my old Z28.
