For all you LS swap guys, go ahead and spend the money for a new one before you put your truck on the road. I'm so glad it didn't happen on my shakedown run.

I picked a new water pump online. Got it swapped out and now I'm back on the road. Drove the truck to work today. All is great

Old pump out:

Awesome weather today in Oklahoma, perfect to drive my classic to work.


Looks good Mike.. I thought you were going on a hike today?

Where did you get the pump.. RockAuto?

Enjoy the weather..
