Perfect replacement OE

Perfect for my 91 F-150. There were no problems with the windshield washer pump. It is very important to install a new pump with a retaining ring to ensure a tight fit and no leaks.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Hard to say

Direct replacement for 96 F250

Okay, car manufacturers use the same parts from different years and models. This will fit a '93 Bronco as well as an F-Series pickup through at least '96. It was a direct replacement, no mods required.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Something different

Fits perfectly on a 1996 Ford f250

Fits perfectly on a 1996 Ford f250. No more leaking washer fluid or antifreeze. Two bolts hold I in place. Check your hoses for dry rot prior to installation, without checking for rot you could still have a leak.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Protection

Coolant Reservoir Dorman 603-212 - works great!

I actually used this in a 1993 Ford Ranger as the original broke and nobody makes an exact replacement for that year/model. I installed it further forward in the engine bay and with a few tweaks it worked perfectly.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

May leak from pump with housing

This product may have a defect. I'm not sure if I got a bad block or what. Installed on my 94 Bronco. The hole that the pump enters has not been properly formed and will not seal the pump. I just bought a new pump and reservoir. So I tested the new pump in the old tank and it worked perfectly so my search was limited to the tank itself. I emailed Amazon and they immediately refunded my money. Thank you Rewin!

Pros
  • High support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • Cons

Just press the retaining ring and it won't leak.

Looks good, no complaints other than the colour, looks hand painted and has a mottled appearance. So if you're reading the reviews on here that the washer motor opening is too big, well it's a little off, just make sure when installing a new/used motor you push the snap ring in really well. I pressed each tab, which holds the plastic very well, and then filled them with water to test. I shook the container and no leaks if any bad report.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Perfect match for factory bottle

Perfect match for my broken factory windshield coolant/washer bottle. While you're replacing it, you might as well put in a new windshield washer pump (since they're cheap). The only tricky part is removing the old washer pump. It has rubber grommets/O-rings that seal it, and it syncs with a small tongue. but there's a bouncy, finger-washed one that keeps it in the bottle. You can pick it up with needle nose pliers or even gently pry it off with a screwdriver and reuse it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Has imperfections

The perfect replacement!

I have replaced it as well as the washer fluid motor (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CB7ALY/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2). I figured as long as I had that, I could just do anything and be done with it. I installed a new pump in the tank and then replaced the entire unit which took about 10 minutes. It was a perfect replacement for the original tank, everything fit and worked perfectly. I have to admit I was a bit hesitant to buy the tank because the reviewers said I had problems with leaks…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
