Quality pump good for water pumps

Only driven a few hundred miles but so far so good. It comes with all the necessary gaskets. Make sure the RTV water pump is side mounted when installing this pump in an old truck. This pump was way better than the other fancy aftermarket unit.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Quality manufactured product.

Was the same as the OEM water pump it replaced. Includes all necessary o-rings and gaskets for a perfect fit. Including a new downpipe for the lower radiator hose connection. It's a good idea to swap out the thermostat during this job and check the condition of the thermostat housing and water pump/thermostat screws you'll need to reuse.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Some little things

It worked perfectly! Hope it lasts as long as what I swapped.

Perfect fit for my 01 7.3 truck. I started at noon and drove the truck out of the garage at 3 p.m. This was my first pump on 3/7. I took my time and it only took 3 hours. This kit is for the water pump only. I bought the belt, thermostat, thermostat housing and hoses from other sites. Everything went great

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Retrofittable

Came with all the seals and worked fine.

Factory pump has 280,000 miles on my 2001 7.3 PowerStroke. I hope this will last at least half of that time and I will be happy. I only rate it 4 stars because the heater outlet thread was very tight. Note: If you have a straight bottom hose entry, you will not be able to cut the old hose to the correct length. The bent fitting included in the kit requires a shorter hose with a larger molded diameter.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Contact seller

Great deal and great fit

Great for my 1997 f-250 7.3 engine. Get a good fan clutch removal tool. Both for holding the water pump pulley and for gripping the fan clutch bolt. I used a screwdriver inserted into the water pump pulley bolts, but this would be much easier with a tool that tightens the water pump pulley bolts and prevents the pulley from rotating. The hardest part of the swap was removing the fan clutch, the rest was easy. Use good coolant with SCA or pre-filled coolant for your diesel.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • boring packaging

Great price when I received it, hope you get a good price too!

Funny how now if you get what you ordered at a good price and it works for your needs I want to say great! And you? Edit: On the road a few months ago and although the truck is NOT in regular use I still wanted to update and say that the Gates water pump on my 97 OBS PSD is fine! Of course, filled with fresh coolant, the truck fires up every few weeks when parked in winter, keeping the fuel-efficient diesel engine and its cooling system running.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Problems

Surprisingly good quality

I don't usually write reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. Anyone with a 7.3 Powerstroke has experienced that sometimes there are no replacements for original parts and the previous owner of my truck had the water pump replaced with a new looking but already failed pump from a competitor brand from the parts store. Leak and terrible noise. I've had good luck with Gates timing belt kits in the past and this was no different. It was half the price of a pump at a parts store and even a well…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Functionality

why pay at Water Pumps

I'm usually a fan of motorcycles. But for the price I thought it was worth a try. I almost ordered both pumps just to see where double and triple the value is. But I didn't. So Gates will fit into this round. I can't say anything about the durability of this product. I want those who have ridden more than 100,000 miles on the Gates to report the news here. And not just those who couldn't complain. I'm sure there are far more people who have passed the 100,000 mark than those who have failed…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Updates
