I just had my leaking water pump replaced. For those who want a ballpark price for a gen 2 Ram 1500 with 5.9 this would help. I got a new water pump(2 year/24,000 mile warranty), new serp belt, new idler pully, new 195 degree thermistat(replacing the 205 degree from the factory), 2 gallons of “green” coolant and installation labor for 900.00. Took my trusted tech/mechanic about 4 hours. Would have taken me all day and would have cost me about 300 to 400 in parts. I live just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. Hope this info helps someone when their water pump dies. Truck has about 56,000 miles.
