Water Pump
Just looking for some advice are there any brands to avoid or better brands ?
I am about to swap out my Fan clutch and fan, assuming all "appears" fine I will leave the water pump alone for now.
But Murphy does tend to show up when least expected so I would like to prepared if leaks happen.

Cheap has worked fine for me. I just called up Lucky 8 and ordered one; didn't ask the brand or anything, just ordered what was cheap. There's no big differences between the brands. They've all got a cast aluminum body, a likely Chinese bearing, and usually a stamped steel impeller. Sometimes a brass impeller, but that's an expensive and needless upgrade.

There is that but, I have seen everything from around 100.00 Canadian to well over 300.00 And I don't buy there is that much difference, in quality. However one cheap one I saw had a very rough water channel so your point is taken.

I run Airtex water pumps for one reason..... IMO, that pump as proven itself to work and last the longest.
Just AVOID at all costs a GMB water pump!!!!! Total garbage! If someone gives you one toss it in the trash.
REMEMBER> The cheapest (anything) is NEVER the least expensive in the long run.
