Review on ACDelco 252 497 Professional Water Pump by Trey Crosland

10,000 miles. Now I have to pay another $843.68 to put a new water pump on my nice relatively low mileage car (143,000), a very good running car since it was new, a convertible. I thought this part was part of your so-called "professional" line of parts? I think you put one of your "budget" water pumps in the Pro line. Why should I pay an extra $$$ for a pro part when it won't even last 10,000 miles? I would hate to see how long (or how much damage it will do to the engine) if someone buys one of your "budget" water pumps. how would it happen Bad right out of the box, how do they sell parts from local Chinese made auto parts stores around every corner? Maybe. Hey AC d, these water pumps are designed for "Störist" engines. With a little care and professionalism, why not make parts for these engines? We all know the days when a timing belt fails due to a stuck water pump, the pistons crushing the valves and rendering your engine useless. Blasted on #@*&! So really stop calling them a "professional” line when you know full well that you are only sending out the ones from the "budget” line and making even more money off those so-called "professional” lines! Ever since you started outsourcing parts (MANY YEARS AND TEARS AGO) your parts have been poor quality, cheap and half the price of what they used to be. Not just me, Ac Delco, now everyone knows. Excuse me. 10,000 miles. Pathetic!
