Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone recommend a good water pump for 2000 box s? Prices I have seen range from 80 to 250. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Buy the best you can afford. Metal impellers are worse than plastic in the end if the bearing goes bad down the line. If you search there has been a few threads on this.

POST 3Original post

Get the kit from pelican parts. It includes the pierburg pump, thermostat and gaskets. Give or take 300.00. Not a job you want to do twice.

POST 4Original post

I'm on my third water pump in six years I've owned my '99. The first was OEM and went for 82K miles (CarFax showed no wp service had been done), the second was third party and went for 2,400 miles and the third is OEM and has about 20K miles. I'll never buy a third party pump again.

POST 5Original post

I'm on my forth. The first three were OEM and the last two lasted about 1 year/15000 miles each. The one I just put in was $67.00 from partsgeek. This one I put on myself. Not that hard of a job if your hands aren't too big.
