My water pump went out yesterday. The bearing was shot and allowing the pulley to come out further than supposed to. Also the fins on the blades were demolished from scraping the block and are left somewhere in the block I couldn't get em out. So, anyways I work at advance and just used a GMB water pump which has a ring welded on the blades to hopefully keep them from disentagrating. Oh yea the that was the second water pump in 160k miles. Oh well about every 3 years so I am gonna have a spare on me now. Oh yea, the factory pump I saw no weep hole but the aftermarket is real apparent. Peace
