A water pump gasket keeps coolant sealed where the pump meets the engine. Signs it may need replacing include coolant seepage or drips around the water pump, dried coolant residue near the pump, or a coolant level that keeps dropping. Diagnose the source of the leak before replacing parts. The gasket is commonly replaced any time the water pump is removed or replaced. The listed applications use one kit. Country of origin: United States.

What does this water pump gasket kit do?
It seals the joint where the water pump mounts to the engine. This helps keep coolant inside the cooling system instead of seeping out at the pump.
Does it fit a 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500 with the V6-4.3L, V8-5.0L or V8-5.7L?
Yes. FEL-PRO ES 73030 is listed for the 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500 with those engines. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
What are the signs a water pump gasket may need replacing?
Look for coolant drips or seepage around the water pump, dried coolant residue near the pump, or a coolant level that keeps dropping. Diagnose the leak first, since the pump or a hose can show the same signs.
Should I replace the gasket when I replace the water pump?
Yes, fitting a new gasket whenever the water pump is removed or replaced is good practice. Follow the vehicle service information for surface preparation and fastener torque.
