I ordered a new stock replacement water pump from Late Model and opened the box today hoping to see a Ford stamp on the pump but no dice. It is stamped with PH-577 B-01 with a weird symbol below it. Box it came in says Ford Racing.
I googled the number and everything I could find really didn't verify who makes this pump.
Any ideas? Looks identical to my old pump, just want to make sure it is good quality.

 

I never really got hung up on mechanical parts like that. New seals, bearing, impeller...Advanced Auto parts

 

I've been using the cheap made in China ones the last couple years and havent had any problems. They look presentable and match OEM. Usually $32 - $36 and comes with gaskets.

 

not sure which manufactorer but the symbol tells who did the pump. I remember it was either Autozone or Advance that had a wall chart for employees that had symbols on the pumps to show who sold it for their warranty later.

 

To be honest, I'd rather have a reman. At least the casting and usually the hub and shaft are OEM. better to just have just china bearings and seals than china everything lol

post a pic of the stamped logo

 

Its a parts store pump! Not a bad part by any means, but not what you paid for!

 

Should have known up front something was right as it was only $39.99. I'll run with it.
