Hey, I searched and searched... In your opinion, aside from own Motorcraft, what's the best brand water pump for the money? I have confirmed a leak from the water pump weep hole. I doubt it should leak on a cool engine, while turning by hand, but it does. More and more everyday. If I'm lucky, I get one day off a week (this is not a lucky week). So if I'm going to go through the hassle of finding an appropriate 30mm clutch wrench and dealing with potentially corroded or rusty pump bolts and replacing the hoses (old and squishy), I want the thing to last. Locally (advance auto O'Reilly's, AutoZone, Napa), they are around $65 for an aftermarket or $90 for a Motorcraft. Online, they vary, and obviously there are more options. Not a huge rush, I can wait of I have to order it, most of my travelling and towing is in a company truck.
