I haven't had any bad experiences with parts from NAPA, Another less expensive option is RockAuto.com. They have what you need and shipping is pretty quick.

Several to choose from.

I always try to get parts made by Motorcraft when my budget allows, Gates waterpumps are ok. Bout the same as NAPA pumps IMO.

Advance auto parts has a Carquest pump with a lifetime warranty for $65. Their online promo codes generally save me $15-$20. 5 years later and it's still going strong on my truck.

Only way I buy replacement parts. Advance with the TRT30 discount code generally saves you some serious $$$

Just takes them forever to ship unless you pay the extra to get the better shipping

Yeah, depends on the warehouse. Most of the time if I order Monday morning or the weekend, I'll have it by Friday. Sometimes it's much longer.

Thank you guys for the replys.
I've pretty much decided to get one at NAPA.it's real close to where i'm temperarly staying.
i've have gotten other stuff there through the years,and have never had a problem.Their water pump seems as good as anybody elses.plus a life time warrenty.

AAP has a lifetime warranty as well, and with their online promo codes, probably cost half as much as that NAPA one.
