Review on πŸ”₯ Airtex AW4108 Engine Water Pump: High-Performance Solution for Efficient Engine Cooling by Ben Barrington

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great products but the pad is not protected; Damaged in transit

I love Airtex products. I've never had a single error installing a new one. And the gas pump failed due to operator error (the neighbor ran out of gas in the Yukon and the new gas pump burned out). Airtex still honored the guarantee and gave me a new pump even after "operator space". However, I bought THIS water pump because it came with a gasket. Still sealed in the plastic bag, it's tucked under the machined edge of the water pump in the box. Cut it right through the gasket like a guillotine. Thank goodness the maker of RTV seals. I wrapped the gasket in the form of a gasket (which works like its own gasket) and installed the pump. So far, so good. Folks, the seal must be protected from sharp edges. This isn't rocket science.

Pros
  • Mainly used on models equipped with a fan clutch and it is highly recommended to replace the fan clutch at the same time as the water pump.
Cons
  • Safety
