So, looking around on eBay today I see ads like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Isuzu-Axiom-Rodeo-V6-3-5L-6VE1-Timing-Belt-Water-Pump-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZModelQ3aVehiCROSSQ7cMakeQ3 aIsuzuQQhashZitem3cb29be2f8QQitemZ260694598392QQpt ZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

I am wondering if I should go that route, or just do the water pump. My timing belt was changed out about 60,000 miles ago and I know it won't hurt, but is all that worth the expense?

Your thoughts.

since you already go that deep to the water pump, I would say do anything else too. 60,000 is good time to change it in my opinion.. and this seller looks like have good quality products and good feedback..

Settle down. :badhorse:


Firestone just called and said waterpump and thermostat were fine. Overheating issue is electrical. (WTF)

Just did a quick search on tha honda, toyota and mustang forums...reviews on the gmb water pumps were so-so. Most said they were better than most cheap replacements but did not last as long as oem pumps.
