Gates Engine Water Pump P/N:42168
Gates 42044 water pump for the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer V6 3.5L and other vehicles circulates coolant through the engine to keep it at operating temperature. Use this engine water pump when the original leaks at the seals or its bearing has worn.
A failing water pump can show up as coolant stains near the pump, a noisy bearing or an engine that runs hot. A leaking hose, a stuck thermostat, a weak radiator cap or a low coolant level can be behind an overheating engine too, so find the cause before buying a pump. Each engine takes one pump.
This water pump is made for the 2011-2012 Ford Explorer V6 3.5L, the 2011-2012 Ford Taurus V6 3.5L and the 2011-2012 Ford Edge V6 3.5L or 3.7L, and it fits and performs to OE specifications and requirements. Driving something else? Look up your own year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
