Changing out my water pump on my 89 SR5 3.0. what brand do yall recommend?

-Napa Premium
-GMB
-Cardone Select
-Gates

or any other brand yall can thing of or should i just stick to good old OEM?

Thanks in advance for the reply's.

 

OEM isn't too expensive compared to all of those, and you can't get much better in quality. I'd also check out engnbldr if you're still searching through aftermarket pumps. And between those on your list, I'd go with Gates. I've had one on my truck before and it held pretty well.

 

Gates would presumably have the best gasket rubber since that is thier original business. But they are all likely cast in india and using chinese bearings.

Go with ever has the best warranty or an OEM one, for piece of mind. I am hauling around a spare 20$ remanufactired one from advanced auto currently

 

OEM is the best way to go.

Check out this site. I've recently purchased some OEM stuff from them, and they do good business.
