Re: 3rd Water pump replacement!

I owned my '88 Fleetwood for 2 years and had to replace the water pump twice. It happens. Make sure you are adding the GM supplement tabs to the new coolant as they contain a lubricant that will help minimize pump failure. The late 80's 4.x engines loved to chew through these. Unfortunately, mine also like to chew through transmissions, which is why it had to go.
