Review on πŸ’¦ Gates 44038 Premium Engine Water Pump: Efficient Performance for Optimal Cooling by Patrick Bacho

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not exactly like the original water pump.

This pump does not quite fit the LT1 engine, the heater hoses are much closer to the engine than the original pump (they shortened the SS pipes on the pump). The upper heater hose ends about 1/8 inch from the power steering pump pulley. So if you ever need to remove the PS pump pulley, the water pump will also need to be removed.

Pros
  • Large Fits Me
Cons
  • Requires Socket
