This was the easiest water pump I have ever installed! Hardest part is just taking the belt off and putting it back on. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to have one replaced to do it themselves. I saved over $150.00 by doing it myself. That was the cheapest price from a local shop and a dealership wanted $300.00. I have over 472,000 miles on this pickup and haven't done much to the motor other than routine maintenance.
