Solid quality

ACdelco parts always deliver quality Nothing else to say

Great fit. Prompt delivery.

recently purchased a 1999 Chevy suburban k1500 a few days ago and bought it because the owner didn't want to deal with it. overheating. I knew it wasn't a head gasket so decided to order this water pump and a Fail-Safe thermostat. only took about 45 minutes to 1 hour to change. it's relatively easy. just take the fan off with a adjustable wrench. 10 mm on the water pump pulley and a few 14 mm bolts which is four of them. no more overheating truck runs great now!

It’s been working solid for about 12,000 miles so far.Pretty straightforward

I would say the biggest negative for this water pump is... it is not painted so it rusted quickly. I would suggest a prepainted one to get some 500 deg engine paint. Unless you just don't care or making a quick sell.Me I cant stand a new Item rusting like that. It took quite a bit to clean, rust kill and paint. It won't be as good as a powder cote, or prepainted, or If I would have cleaned and painted it in the first place. But better now... 😀

I could not use product do to other products not fitting

I bought this as it was easy cheaper than trying to buy from any automotive store. It seems to be great quality with no manufacturing defects I could find, came with the gaskets I needed and appeared overall like a good quality. Install was a pain as my fan was stuck on the old one but I made a tool to remove it using a air hammer bit and a crescent wrench welded together. So far there has been no leaks or problems from this for me. I would for sure buy this product again!
