Question
gammafrench
Hello all,
I have a 2007 Silverado, 5.3L with 73500 miles. It's never had a coolant change before, so I plan on doing this soon. I'm going to go ahead and replace the lower and upper hoses as well and the belts. The current ones look fine, but I feel this is inexpensive insurance.
My question is: Should I change the water pump/thermostat too? The only water pump problems I've ever had was years ago on a 1976 Matador so in my experience they're pretty reliable. However, I would rather swap it out while I'm doing the coolant change than have problems down the road and have to do this job all over again. A few years ago I changed a timing belt in my wife's Kia and changed the water pump on it as well, only because it was a recommended procedure while having the cover housing, harmonic balancer, etc., all off the engine.
Any thoughts and experiences shared would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gamma
