Called a few places and got different prices... Just wondering which water pump do most of you guys go with..

 

What do you have and what are you trying to accomplish?

 

Meziere electric for me.

I just use a stock water pump. For what the electric ones cost versus the power gain realized, I hardly see how it's worth it.

If you're set on a Meziere, there was a guy on here a while back trying to sell a couple of new ones at a discounted price in the tx classifieds

 

Looking for a stock water pump..for 01 z28. I noticed A coolant leak and I'm pretty sure it's the pump about to take a crap... Just looking to see what you guys o with .. I.e duralast, ac delco Ect...

 

Preferably an OEM one, but if that's too much pretty anything will work.

 

Get the duralast pump, its fine and will save a few bucks. I have used duralast for small and mid-ticket items. For major $$$ parts, AC Delco or better! Their parts are much better now than say....10 years ago

 

thr autozone (duralast) water pump comes with a lifetime limited warranty.

 

Cool thanks

 

Durlast will be just fine. And the lifetime warranty should cover it if it ever goes bad again. No need to go all out with AC Delco, or something, if you don't want to.

When it comes to electrical stuff (starters, alternators etc.), at least I will nowadays stay away from Duralast or any other off brand. Had too many issues with some of those in the last few years.

 

just throwing this out there but if your starter goes bad, whichever manufacturer you go with, id recommend getting one from a truck. the mount is beefier which will eliminate or at least minimize the chance of your starter taking your block/engine with it.

and if your alternator goes bad, id recommend heading to the junk yard and getting a AD244, 145 amp, kg3 option alt off of a silverado/tahoe/suburban/escalade.

 

i have a duralast one and never had any issues...

 

vatozone brand

unless u like to tinker with ya car and got money go with the meziere electric..plus its nice n shiny...

 

+1 on the duralast. just installed one a few months ago with 0 issues

 

Well I noticed the leak yesterday while doing my oil change . I drove the car today for about 10-15 miles so I could get a better look at the leak and see if it's actually coming from the weep hole... But it didn't leak at all .. Nothing on the floor or the block..

Is it normal for the pump to stop leaking or am I looking at another issue??

 

A leak is a leak, they just don't stop on their own. Best way to find a leak is by pressurizing the system.

 

Any recommendations wher to Ake it and how much??

 

location?

 

For what it'sworth , I have a good truck pump if anyone wants it . Located at my shop in Crosby , it's free to whoever wants to come get it .

 

truck pump on wont work on a fbody.... it has a different neck on it
