Water pump replacement

[97RedRam]

I just saw some coolant on my garage floor from my 1997 Ram 1500 with the 5.9. Does anyone know what the replacement cost should be? I will have a local shop that I trust do the work. Thanks

From former post I left out it is the water pump.

Call Pep Boys or another local chain garage. They'll give you a quote over the phone. This will give you a ballpark estimate before you bring it to a local garage.

You have a 26 year old truck, and you want us to ESTIMATE the cost of changing a water pump at your unspecified location?

I think he's looking for a GUESSTIMATE.

I'll also add, don't assume it's a water pump unless you reach up under the snout of the pump and feel coolant coming out of the weap hole. Those engines like to corrode and leak at the timing cover ports, since it is aluminum to a cast iron block.

5th gen? Kind of scratching my head why folks just post wherever.
