    Water Pump replacement.

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

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Isuzu...Q5fAccessories

    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.


    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.
