Good idea on the water pump. Now would be the perfect opportunity. I was surprised how easy this water pump is to install vs other makes. The 5.3l is super mechanic friendly- thank you Chevrolet.

I hear that’s a little more difficult than the radiator because you have to torque down the bolts to a certain spec and there’s a certain pattern they go on I was told? And use paper gasket

watch it be the head gasket lol #totaled
