Yesterday wasn't the best day for my car... in addition to my shifting problems (http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?p=5178316#post5178316) I also noticed a big green puddle under the car only 3 hours after I parked it. I know my water pump has been seeping from the weep hole, but now that I bypassed my leaking heater core it's much worse, must be because of more pressure in the cooling system.
So which water pump should I replace it with? Stock replacement or aftermarket, and where's the best place to buy from? With my Griffin radiator the stock pump keeps it plenty cool, so I guess I'm more concerned with longevity and cost than something that will pump a lot more water. I'd definately prefer to stay away from parts store remanufacured pumps, I saw a lot of those coming back with problems when I worked at a parts store. A brand new one isn't that much more anyway...
How hard is it to replace the pump? Any tips on making the job easier?
