Great product! Review: Why pay up? - I am usually a “motorcraft” kind of guy. But for this price I figured it’s worth a try.I almost ordered both pumps just to see where the double and triple price quality is. But I did not. So Gates will do for this round. I can not speak of the longevity of this product either. I wish those who have over 100k miles on a Gates would give updates on here. Instead of only the ones that failed complaining. I’m sure there are many more making it well over 100k than the ones who failed. Also Gates has videos and literature stating how not to use sealant on the gasket. How many that failed will admit they added sealant to the gasket? Upon inspection the pump seems to look fine to me. Mostly the bearing up front. Since it holds so much weight and tension from fan and pulley. Machining seems fine. Not sure which impeller metal is best. But galvanized should be fine. I tried to get photos of the bearing and internal side where shaft is. Also you can see from my photos that the gasket provided stays in place very well with out any holding it. Also you can see it came with the 90 elbow for earlier 7.3 engines. There’s a o ring for the lower connectors. Wether your is straight or curved. A thermostat gasket, all though my stat had the gasket attached. While I have it all off I ordered a billet thermostat housing. I bought a motorcraft stamped steel one two years ago when I did hoses, and it’s rusted already. The one I got is hiwow. I found it on desertcart. I seems nice enough. Has 3 color options and much cheaper than others with names printed on them. I hope this review and pics are helpful to someone. I know I read and read forever trying to decide which pump. Even though I can afford a more expensive one I’m getting wiser or dumber as I age. I will update this if I ever have an issue. And my truck only gets 8-10k a year on it. So it’ll be a very long time before I can attest to its longevity. But I do like updating desertcart reviews when I come across them here and there. We will see.... Update 5/11/20- still working fine. No issues. Prob less than 4K miles. No leaks. Truck stays cool. About to go through a summer here in the desert. If I remember I’ll do an update afterwards. 11/04/20- Almost been a year. No problems. Made it through summer fine. Thermostat never read hot at all. Prob only around 5-6k on it though. 7/1/21- still works great so far. 10/25/22- still working great. Made it through another Vegas summer. 01-2023 sold truck. Pump was fine still. Prob ending up putting 15k ish on it. ## Features - Quality-assured with 100 percent leakage and functional tests of seals, bearings, castings and fully assembled water pump - Fits and performs exactly to OE specifications and requirements - Premium water pumps are designed to enhance the performance of the equivalent standard pump - Backed by a limited lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001FDS5FS | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #89,371 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #144 in Automotive Replacement Engine Water Pumps | | Brand | Gates | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (904) | | Date First Available | October 10, 2007 | | Exterior | Machined | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00770075335610 | | Item Weight | 1.8 pounds | | Item model number | 43546 | | Manufacturer | Gates | | Manufacturer Part Number | 43546 | | Material | Aluminum | | Model | Premium Engine Water Pump | | OEM Part Number | F81Z8501AARM, F81Z8501FA | | Position | Front, Rear | | UPC | 770075335610 | | Vehicle Service Type | Car, Truck | ## Product Details - **Automotive Fit Type:** Vehicle Specific Fit - **Brand:** Gates - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00770075335610 - **Item Weight:** 1.8 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Gates - **Material:** Aluminum - **OEM Part Number:** F81Z8501AARM, F81Z8501FA - **UPC:** 770075335610 - **Vehicle Service Type:** Car, Truck ## Images ![Gates 43546 Premium Engine Water Pump - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AI1ibsCHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the money! *by W***D on January 8, 2026* This is my 3rd of this same water pump used on 3 different trucks!
