Default Where to get water pump...

Hey guys, my car has 116k on it so as a precationary measure I'm going to replace my water pump. Everywhere I find an Ac Delco it's way to expensive. I found a GMB brand new at Advance Auto and then a Duralast brand new from Autozone, where I do alot of business. Both pumps were $135. Where does everyone get there pumps from? Can you direct in a good place for a GM/AC Delco? Also, the GMB and Duralast look like they don't come with a thermostat...should I go ahead and get a 160*F on from hypertech or somewhere? Tried searching for all of this but no luck. Thanks guys, have a good one.

Rock Auto has a Bosch replacement for $157, and the AC Delco one for $183. OEHQ has the AC Delco one for $163. I'd personally spend the extra $30 for the AC Delco pump.

I'd just get a stock temp thermostat, no real benefits to running a 160F one.

O yea for sure going to gt AC Delco now. Those sites confuse me with the way they're set up. They have two water pumps for different prices. I'll give them a call and get the right one.

The new style GM water pumps won't accept the old hypertech style thermostats, but 180 should come with the replacement and will be fine.
