Water pumps are common wear items not only in diesel trucks, but in all vehicles. A failing water pump can cause catastrophic damage if not taken care of early. The water pump is responsible for keeping coolant flowing throughout your engine, keeping it cool. As your Chevy\/GMC gets older, the factory water pump can start to deteriorate due to old age. If you do not have your coolant flushed at the recommended factory intervals, you could see premature failure of your water pump.

Fortunately, most water pumps will show symptoms of failing before they completely fail. This may include a coolant leak from the weep hole, a small hole in the housing, designed to leak coolant in failure situations. You may also notice rust or deposit buildup on the internal impellor in more extreme cases. A loose pulley or a pump that is making whining noises can occur, but is less common. Lastly, if your truck is overheating, this can also be the culprit and you will want to check when diagnosing why your truck.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hook=\"variant_changed__data\" data-contentsection=\"render_carb_restriction\" class=\"cmp-product-force-font\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product-application-note\" class=\"cmp-product-force-font\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe harmonic balancer balancer bolt will need to be removed to replace your water pump.\u003cbr\u003eThe factory bolt is a torque-to-yield fastener (TTY) for one time use and must be replaced.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Merchant Automotive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51229770580256,"sku":"10549","price":279.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/3043\/6640\/files\/merchant-automotive-10549-water-pump-with-housing-2001-2005-duramax-4884202.jpg?v=1779542950","url":"https:\/\/www.southerndieselsupply.com\/products\/merchant-automotive-10549-water-pump-with-housing-2001-2005-duramax","provider":"Southern Diesel Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
