Product Details

Gates Water Pump (Standard) 44089 is manufactured with premium alloy materials and built for consistent operation in the cooling system. Each pump is tested for seal and bearing function and checked for leakage in both the casting and assembled unit. For buyers searching for a 2001 Chevrolet Express 3500 water pump or a 2002 GMC Savana 3500 engine water pump, this part provides a direct-fit replacement with the correct accessory-belt drive configuration.

This part cross-references Airtex AW5090 and Dayco DP1115 for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Coolant circulation problems caused by a worn pump
• Leakage at the water pump housing or seals
• Noise from failing pump bearings
• Overheating related to reduced coolant flow
• Service replacement during cooling-system repair

Installation Notes

Verify accessory-belt routing, outlet count, and housing style before installation. Replace the gaskets supplied with the pump and inspect mating surfaces for corrosion or residue. Confirm the vehicle uses a standard-rotation, accessory-belt-driven water pump and not a timing-belt-driven design.

Quality Assurance

Gates builds this water pump for OE-quality fit and performs functional testing of seals and bearings along with leakage testing before release.
