We buy all of our parts for our fleet of trucks and vans from NAPA, that includes water pumps.
Go for it.

E=BHamms;427762]Ok, so the squeal came back. Kinda figured it would after a little more extensive driving. The water pump does have a slight, and I mean slight, bit of wiggle to it. Also I notice that the crankshaft pulley has a decent amount of wobble, just by visual observation. Could this be an issue?[/QUOTE]

Usually there is alot of movement and or it will be leaking

if you need it quick and they have it in stock then cool.

I got mine just few weeks ago from rovahfarm for 40-50 i think, they ship fast took about 3 days to get it, your milage may vary on shipping time but its still decent

as for the crankshaft wiggle, I cant imagine any would be acceptable.....

I had the same problem, and it was incredibly annoying. Squealed like a pig, and chewed up belts every few hundred miles. To make a long story short, the ps pump had been replaced and the original pulley re-used, but installed backwards so the offset was causing the belt to be misaligned and therefore coming across the water pump at a slight angle, thus causing the squeal. Put the pulley on right so that the word FRONT stamped into the pulley actually points towards the front, and all better. Point is, misalignment causes squeal, especially when the misalignment causes the belt to traverse the water pump, which runs off the flat surface, at an angle.. Even if the PS pump pulley is on correctly, the chuck that holds the pulley tends to walk forward on the shaft, causing the ps pulley to become misaligned. Check the alignment, process is in Rave.

Good day. How did that work out," BHAMMS ". Mine has the same problem and the belt just flew off. Except for not having Power Steering or A/C, it's better because the squeal is gone. Just wonder if WD40 did the trick?

Ignore my last, "BHAMMS" just saw your other alias , " Tom R " Post. Nothings simple. Am using water somehow, see a little spray around the left side of the engine when first shutting off. And, cannot find a water leak. Will get that checked ( I don't have pressure tester. )
