How much should a water pump cost?
Hey all!
So, the other night, I see smoke curling up from behind the headlights of my car. It looks badass, let me tell you. BUT, it also means that I'm leaking radiator fluid. How much should a new water pump cost, out the door? The local Chevy dealership called me today and they said that the water pump was the problem and I was looking at about $512 out the door. Anybody ever had it done before? Thanks for the help!

I just bought a rebuild from Autozone Monday. It was $49.99 plus a $15 core charge. A friend helped me, or should I say, I helped a friend put mine in. Took a few hours, but it is a lot better on the wallet than $500+ for a dealer to do it.

If you are willing to go back in for replacement if the electric one fails (none of the ones I've seen have lifetime warranties), then get it, as it does free up some HP.
As for me, when mine died I just got a reman. pump from Pep Boys for like $65. Lifetime warranty, the biggest pain was the installation. Luckily I had a buddy help me out, and we got it all done in an afternoon.

A valid concern... I believe the CSI is rated for 5000 hours, which is a LOT of driving... but if you really are worried then you aren't missing that much staying with a stock pump.
