Review on 💧 Efficient Performance with Gates 43034 Water Pump: A Trustworthy Solution by Michael Jenkins

I'm embarrassed to write this review but this American made water pump only lasted 406 days. I expected that from a water pump made in China. It's already seeping out of the tear hole. I installed it on my '96 Dakota on 11/2/19 with 177,000 miles. Then today (12/2/20) after driving 180,971 miles I noticed a puddle of 50/50 antifreeze under the truck and in a wet drain at the water pump. but I was wrong. Do not buy this brand it is not worth the time and effort to install and then do it again in such a short space of time. TO UPDATE! I contacted Gates and they sent me a replacement water pump. I'm willing to try because it doesn't cost me anything. I will post an update if there are any issues with the exchange. I am changing my rating from 1 star to 3 stars because of their prompt response.
