I just stuck my head under the truck and found out that my fuel pump and water pump are leaking.
I am inclined to go with AC Delco parts, but I notice the water pumps listed all say for AT only and I have a SM465 manual. Is there a difference in water pumps - automatic vs. manual transmission?
Also, I see a $32 vs. $115 water pump - does it matter which one I get?
Any tips on installing a fuel pump?
Any brands of parts favored by anyone? Upper and lower radiator hoses all seem to about the same price (Delco/Gates/Dayton, etc.)
