• Bearing noise or pump wear in the cooling system
• Service replacement for timing chain-driven engine cooling setups

Installation Notes

Verify engine configuration and production date before ordering, especially for 2011-2012 Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, and Lincoln MKZ applications with date-specific fitment notes. Confirm reverse rotation and timing chain drive requirements before installation. Replace the included gaskets during service and inspect the pulley, mounting surfaces, and cooling passages for wear or contamination.

Quality Assurance

Gates tests each new water pump for seal and bearing function and performs leakage checks on both the casting and the assembled unit. This part cross-references GMB 125-3340 for the same application.
