Fortunately, most water pumps will show \nsymptoms of failing before they completely fail. This may include a \ncoolant leak from the weep hole, a small hole in the housing, designed \nto leak coolant in failure situations. You may also notice rust or \ndeposit buildup on the internal impellor in more extreme cases. A loose \npulley or a pump that is making whining noises can occur, but is less \ncommon. Lastly, if your truck is overheating, this can also be the \nculprit and you will want to check when diagnosing why your truck.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-hook=\"variant_changed__data\" data-contentsection=\"render_carb_restriction\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color:#e42626\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe harmonic balancer balancer bolt will need to be removed to replace your water pump. \u003cbr\u003eThe factory bolt is a torque-to-yield fastener (TTY) for one time use and must be replaced.\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"prod_vehicle_applications\" class=\"readytheme-contentsection\"\u003e\n\u003cx-vehicle-applications id=\"xva\" applications-data=\"2001\u0026gt;Chevy\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2002\u0026gt;Chevy\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2003\u0026gt;Chevy\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2004\u0026gt;Chevy\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2004.5\u0026gt;Chevy\u0026gt;6.6L LLY Duramax\n2005\u0026gt;Chevy\u0026gt;6.6L LLY Duramax\n2001\u0026gt;GMC\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2002\u0026gt;GMC\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2003\u0026gt;GMC\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2004\u0026gt;GMC\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2004.5\u0026gt;GMC\u0026gt;6.6L LLY Duramax\n2005\u0026gt;GMC\u0026gt;6.6L LLY Duramax\n2003\u0026gt;Chevy Kodiak \/ GMC TopKick\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2004\u0026gt;Chevy Kodiak \/ GMC TopKick\u0026gt;6.6L LB7 Duramax\n2004.5\u0026gt;Chevy Kodiak \/ GMC TopKick\u0026gt;6.6L LLY Duramax\n2005\u0026gt;Chevy Kodiak \/ GMC TopKick\u0026gt;6.6L LLY Duramax\" headers='[\"Year\",\"Make\",\"Engine\"]'\u003e\u003c\/x-vehicle-applications\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Merchant Automotive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45864614985948,"sku":"MAT-10549","price":249.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/8288\/2012\/files\/10549_1.jpg?v=1733498389","url":"https:\/\/chucksdp.com\/products\/merchant-automotive-10549-water-pump-with-housing","provider":"Chuck's Diesel Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
