2002 Chevy Silverado 5.3L with 356k miles and want to replace water pump.
Is there a water pump kit or do I need to buy the water pump and gasket(s) separately?
Have never replaced a water pump on a Chevy truck so I would like to know if there are any other parts that I should be replacing while I'm in there.
What do I need to remove before accessing the water pump itself and what are the things that I have to be careful with?
I just replaced both heater core quick coupler hoses today and thought to myself that its a good idea to replace the water pump also.
Not sure about the level of difficulty but in comparison to replacing the intake manifold gasket how would the water pump compare?
The intake manifold gasket wasn't too bad.
Also, which manufacture/brand water pump is good and recommended?
Any advice/instructions is greatly appreciated
