Water pump cover blew !
Anyone else have the rear water pump cover pop out ?
This was a new pump bought 3/31/11 from Advanced Auto.
As I remember the rear cover bolted into the original pump on the 4.8 I pulled last year. Went to a new style pump cause of 1, F body Elec fans and 2, a FAST 90 from a F body. The replacement pump was made in Thailand. Advanced is suppose to have a free replacement this afternoon. I might try and make something to put behind the cover so this won't happen again. Or go to my local stealership and look @ an OEM pump. If the cover is bolted on, I might go OEM and try and get a refund on the other.
