Failed Water Pumps
Hi.. I purchased my 1989 Z51 in June.
The day after I brought it home I noticed tiny coolant pools wherever I stopped.
Not a big deal, I bought this high flow, water pump.

I put roughly 1000 km on it. At the end I noticed some coolant coming out. I saw it coming from the weep hole.
One day I drove home, and I didn't turn the car off. I popped the hood and revved the engine a bit.
The seal burst and it was spraying out the weep hole.
I pulled the thermostat and tested it, and it works flawlessly.
The rad cap is the stock 17 psi.
Any opinions?
