yes, could you send me torque specs? And, is that something I can get at Napa or Autozone?

although I'm no expert on this issue. I would never pull the water pump and change gaskets without changing the pump as well. Same amount of work, sure would not want to do it twice. (even if the gasket swap worked, how long before the pump goes out anyway. 60 to 80k)


Good luck

Your right if ya dont mind spending money when its not necessary, the pumps on the gen 4 motors have been standing up pretty well though. Torque specs are tighten all 6 bolts to 11 ft lbs and then do a second pass at 22 ft lbs.

I just changed my water pump about 3 weeks ago and purchased it from napa it was new and included all new gaskets. My pump was leaking around the nose of the pully and I have 90k on my truck. Its a good time to replace belts and hoses keep old ones for spares. cost was about $120 I think.

thanks for everyones help the other day. I ended up changing the water pump, thermostat, and serpentine belt. I should change the ac belt since I was in there.... but I'll do it this weekend. The bank1 and bank 2 issue was all resolved when I found my intake tube from my K&N was loose going into the manifold. Causing unwanted air. Which was great!! So, I didnt have to get any O2 sensors!! Coolant flush coming later on today and changing the a/c belt cause theres a bit of sqeeling going on.... hope that fixes it...
