This is the 2nd water pump that crapped out on me in less than 2 months. I will never buy a Napa pump ever again. This is coming from someone who works there. The first pump kept leaking from the gasket surface. I used the gasket the first time, and tried 2 different RTVs after that. Finally returned it as defective and got another one. This one sealed up fine, but now after about 2 months it's leaking from the weep hole!! So this will be the 5th, yes the FIFTH f***ing time I'm doing this water pump job. Needless to say, I DON'T want to do it again. So, does anyone have a recommendation on a GOOD water pump?? I stopped by the Ford dealer on my way home. They want over $337 for a pump . I paid only about $40 for the Napa one. I know the Ford one is better, but there's no way it's $300 better. How are Advanced pumps?
Here is what I found to my dismay the other day. Notice the trail of white residue crap coming directly from the weep hole:
Oh, and just throwing this out there: Napa lug nuts also suck. Here's a picture of my wheel. 4 out of 5 lug nuts are factory original (17 years old!) and 1 of them is a Napa that's been on there less than 6 months. Guess which one it is?
