Advance Auto Parts lists a new 6cyl. Cardone at $35 (no core). They have some for more, some for less. Don't forget the gasket. On the 6cyl is extremely easy. Remove the nut holding the water pump pulley on. The pulley may come off easily, or like mine it may need some persuasion. If it does, you will need to release the tension on the tensioner pulley and slip the belt off. 5 small bolts (8mm I think?) hold the water pump on. Take it out. Clean the mating surface. Install new gasket & pump in reverse procedure. 15 minutes tops if you're experienced. A little more if you're not.
