????Water pump replacement????

[Todd~Rod]

I think my water pump is leaking around the seal at the bottom of the water pump and was wondering what kind of pump i should replace it with as i was looking on RockAuto and they offer a few different choices.

Just a good quality, generic pump should be OK. I don't know if one brand is better than another. I'm sure someone will pipe up if they have a different opinion.

I always buy the rebuilt ones at the parts house.. Never have had one fail yet. There isn't much to a coolant pump. Just a bearing and seal is almost all that can go wrong with one.
The thermostat controls how much the pump is able to push...not the pump itself. A high volume coolant pump will only pump just the same amount as a standard or low volume pump..
