LS guys, electric water pump on you LS S chassis?

Well I don't know yet, but I may have a leak at the bottom of my water pump. But I recently had the whole front end of and on a few times and the radiator in and out a bunch so it may be left over spilt fluid.

So its a tight in there we all know, I may just opt to replace the water pump with an electric if I am going to have it the pump off anyhow. Are the electric pumps any smaller or larger? I only have about 3-4mm between the waterpump pulley and fans. So any larger I cant do.

They can't be much different because of the belt. I doubt you'll have a problem.

Yeah I dunno I think it will fit, I just dont know if its worth the 500 bucks

u can go with a custom pulley and custom water pump, it will solve a lot of problems with fit.

Fits not the issue, I juest cant go bigger, unless I do pusher fans.

Or notch your radiator support and push it forward an inch or so.

But, what I was getting at is that the accessory belt still has to work so it can't push it out any. Since that "pulley" is just there for tension on the belt they would have no reason to make it any bigger. It is supposed to be a stock replacement. If you don't think it'll fit, call Meziere and ask them.

Fired it up today and that thing is leaking like hell. I'm in the middle of redoing the kitchen so time is tight but I'm gonna pull the pump the first change I get and see whats doing and to acess my options.

I ordered an OEM one today. The O ring was shot, I spoke the the tech at the dealer today who said hes seen this to be common. So I got a deal 171 for a new pump.
