A water pump from NAPA (Rayloc) will probably last longer than a new one from the dealer. Fairly standard Chevy small block water pump install.
I'm not finding one though...maybe I'm overestimating NAPA. Gene would have one at a good price though if you can install it yourself.
$ 187.95 on "the auction site"

At 20, 000 miles, ask the dealer for a "goodwill" repair. IF the dealer agrees, GM pays for the repair, so the dealers gets a smile from you and it cost the dealer nothing. Won't hurt to ask.

Woops, I see you have a 2005 out of warranty. GM does include this under their powertrain warranty for the 2007+ folks.

Or you could look at it as a 2005 owner who is just out of 3/36 warranty has already had a $500 repair paid for and several more years of coverage on their policy. You seem to have a lot of confidence in GM's reliability which is great, but I think others are not as confident as you are.
