Resolved 2G water pump part number / question

[fivedollarcooch]

hey guys, sorry if this is a stupid question...

97 gst...
im leaking coolant really bad from the water pump side and cant visually tell where its coming from. i just had the water pump replaced about 2 years ago, but im guessing its coming from that....

water pumps are cheap enough that i want to just order one anyways if im going to tear everything apart and replace it while im hunting it down...

i want to get it on amazon since i have prime and can get it overnighted for 3 bucks, but im having a really hard time finding a part number to find one on amazon to order...

also- is there anything else i should get? gaskets, etc?

thanks!

Not sure if you knew this already, but the timing belt needs to come off in order to replace the water pump. So basically you might as well replace both belts, the pullies, and hydraulic tensioner while you're in there.

I've used about 3 aftermarket water pumps (GMB and 2 ITM's) without issues. The water pump O-ring and gasket should be included with whatever pump you go with.

Go OEM or enjoy replacing many times

Oddly, I can't find the part number in the FSM. Call the dealership or search the forums.

+1 on that - most aftermarket will not last! The factory part number is MD972050 ($139.59 water pump kit at https://www.mitsubishiparts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html).
Make sure you put the o-ring on properly http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/309982-coolant-leak.html#post151625392).
