Trans International Transmissions Buy An Engine Water Pump

Your car uses water to distribute engine heat. The water pump keeps water moving coolant pressurized around the engine at the proper temperature. Houston can offer cold winter nights and hot summer days which can be hard on your engine. Your engine can crack and suffer irreversible damage if the water pump fails. A good way to tell if your water pump is working properly is to keep an eye on the engine thermostat. At Trans International Transmissions we tell customers, higher temperatures could indicate that the water pump or thermostat needs replacing. Call us today at 713-861-3131 to discuss buying a new water pump.

How to choose an automobile engine water pump

Choose a water pump that is tested for leak-free performance at high temperatures
Look for coated seals that support seal longevity
Consider heat-treated shaft assemblies that provide superior strength
Get high-quality bearings that are permanently sealed and lubricated for greater durability

Looking for a high-performance water pump?

High-performance water pumps have close-tolerance impellers that increase coolant flow up to 30 percent. The water pump castings are precision manufactured with a powdered-metal impeller and feature improved smooth internal passages that more evenly distribute flow to both sides of the engine block while delivering maximum coolant pressure. The center shafts are larger than those found in conventional water pumps. They are machined to accept original fittings and mounting.

Adding a high-performance water pump to your car or truck will also require a high-flow non-restrictive thermostat. If you have serious street and competitive racing in mind talk to us at Trans International Transmissions about water pumps with cooling technology designed for heavy-duty towing.

Vehicle tips
- According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
- The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
- Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
- Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
- Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
- A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
- Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
- Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
- Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
- Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
- Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
- Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
- Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
- Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
- Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
- Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
- Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
- Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
- Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
- Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.
