Detailed Description

The GMB 130-1480 is an OEM-standard engine water pump designed for vehicles that require reliable coolant circulation and stable operating temperatures. Its aluminum construction supports long-term durability in everyday cooling-system service, while the included gasket helps simplify replacement work. This part cross-references Airtex AW5033 and Gates 41020 for the same application.

Compatible With select Buick Rendezvous, Buick Century, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Impala, Pontiac Grand Prix, and Oldsmobile Cutlass applications, this water pump also serves many other GM platforms from 1987 through 2007. If you are replacing a worn pump on a Chevrolet Lumina, Pontiac Grand Am, or Buick Regal, part number 130-1480 is a relevant OE-style option.

Common Problems This Part Can Help Address

• Coolant leaks from a worn pump housing or seal area
• Overheating caused by reduced coolant circulation
• Noise from a failing water pump bearing or impeller assembly
• Cooling-system service needs during timing or front-engine repairs
• Loss of coolant pressure from an aging OEM pump

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine application before installation, since this part is listed across many GM makes and models. Inspect the mating surface, replace the gasket during service, and verify that the cooling system is clean before refilling. Because no pulley is included, reuse or replace the pulley separately as needed. Always bleed air from the system after installation to help prevent hot spots and circulation issues.

Quality Assurance

GMB manufactures this water pump to meet or exceed OEM specifications and supplies it as a new, OEM-standard replacement part. The aluminum construction and included gasket support a straightforward service installation for cooling-system repair.
