What company make the best water pump for replacement. I figured might at we'll get that done while I got easy access and gonna have the radiator cleaned to make sure I don't need a new one. By the way never had an overheating problem just some preventative Maitenance while I'm doing the head gasket job.

 

A new radiator is 100-150 online and I'd just replace it vs attempt to clean it. As long as the water pump has a metal impeller you should be fine. I've used Airtex, GMB, and Gates with no issues.

 

Ok I knew the airtex are the most expensive didn't k ow why and was looking to see if there was a higher flow water pump but haven't seen one yet

 

Rock Auto has em for a good price.

 

I've been checking them, lucky 8, eBay, etc just didn't know if members had better luck with certain brands over others or even if there was an option for a high volume pump

 

 

I bought off ebay - metal impeller, $32

 

I bought the Nessens from FCP Euro for $140 something. Well made and perfect fit
