    Noticed a tiny leak from the coolant pump on the port side. Figure I might as well go ahead and change both of them.

    They seem to be available here for $245, but they are running between $70 and $100 most everywhere else, including Amazon with delivery tomorrow.

    If the part on this site said SMX, then I would assume it came with some upgrades to help performance/longevity, but it does not say SMX.

    What am I missing?

    Much appreciated

    Thanx for the quick response. Certainly, don’t want to be 60 miles offshore with substandard parts.

    I normally do not get into these things, but:

    No clue what other pumps using the same part number you are looking at,Ā  other that ours are Genuine Cummins.. After market coolantĀ  pumps could easily be 50% less and may or may not be as good.. We just don’t go there for these type of things.Ā  Ā 

    In stock ?? –If it let’s you order it, then it is in stock.

    availability

    Also, it does not say you have them in stock. Kind of uncomfortable buying elsewhere…….
