Faulty Water Pump Ruined My Ride!

This product was a terrible choiceโ€”we bought it to replace a broken water pump in our car, but it caused nothing but problems! The installation was a headache and it barely worked before breaking down altogether. The only good thing about it was that it arrived promptly after ordering online.

Pros
  • Fast Shipping
Cons
  • Poor Quality, Difficult Installation

The impeller entered the shaft and rubbed through the casing.

During the second processing, after further inspection, it was found that the water pump was defective. The impeller came out on the shaft and wore out through the water pump housing in 10,000 miles. Not very good. Upon machining, it was the original OEM water pump body that developed a crack near the bypass pipe flange that was leaking, not this Delco 252-838 water pump I ordered. So I am giving the water pump a four star rating as it has only done 10,000 miles but is still working. On a 2004โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Was damaged

A word of advice

Something I think anyone using ACDelco parts should know. Discard any paper spacers that came with the parts. Buy Felpro pads separately. ACDelco does not make gaskets and if they use an independent supplier they will have to divest them and merge with the Felpro Gasket Company. The paper gasket cost me a second disassembly because it failed. GM didn't even use a paper gasket when they installed the water pump from the factory. GM and Felpro are a type of thin metal coated with a gasketโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust finish
Cons
  • Ratio kit
