Review on πŸ”§ ACDelco Proficient Water Pump Kit 252-480 by Donald Blanco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ONE OF THE BEST PUMP YOU CAN BUY. AC DELCO VERY WELL MADE.

This water pump is made in America. Do you know this country that lies between Canada and Mexico? I like to use AC delco because while Evan can get a cheaper water pump. (Specially made in China.). When you receive it you will notice manufacturing variations. This pump is over $90 at the auto parts store and about $48 here on Amazon. Hm. hard to know which one to buy. One thing about it is that you won't have any trouble putting it on and they give you two pads for that. Some places will sell you a water pump and they will be cheap. they don't take into account the other Gazekt. then they want to sell the second pad for another ten dollars. The other seal is for the water line bypass. Everything is fine, there were no water leaks. Ford Manuel recommends applying a Teflon-based sealant to the gaskets. I think this helps protect the gasket from the heat and prevent it from sticking to the metal. The finish of these AC Delco pumps is excellent. they are pre-tested. as soon as you put one of them on your item for a long time. Go cheap and you can mess around with a leaky new pump all day before realizing you've gone cheap and are now really paying the true price. Another thing is that if you change the water pump, you need to replace the fan clutch. Again, an area where many so-called mechanics are becoming cheaper. In my case the fan clutch didn't turn off the fan and it was still bad. The worst thing is that nowadays the word "China" is embossed everywhere.
