All 3.0 water pumps the same?
« on: 14 September 2010, 17:26:20 »
So I'm on yet another money saving venture... I noticed that when I look up water pumps for my Catera, it shows 2 different types; A early design and a late design. Is there any difference that prevents me from using the "cheaper" late design? To me, it looks like the impellers are shaped differently, and would prevent me from using the later one.

Hopefully someone knows about this... this could save me as much as $40.

About $75-80 for the ACDelco ones.

And $150 from the Cadillac dealer.

There the same on all the V6 engines of this type 2.5/2.6/3.0/3.2.

So try to source one for an LA3 3.2 as it might be easier to find the wrong side of the pond  :y
