Product Details

Built as an engine water pump for belt-driven cooling systems, Gates part number 44007 is engineered for Ford trucks and vans that use an accessory belt drive. Gates states that each pump is tested for seal and bearing function and checked for leakage at both the casting and assembled pump level, helping support consistent cooling system performance. This part cross-references Airtex AW4048 and Dayco DP983 for the same application.
