Stewart, will that bolt directly on with no modifications? So Ford used the Airtex pump but Navistar makes one as well?? Or IS that one Airtex?

Any Navi I ever saw had a cast iron water pump. I think the front cover is different too.

Not sure why you ask that question when it say's OEM, and the description say's "factory"...
This is a 99-03 new factory pump, not rebuilt or reman. Comes with new oring and outlet elbow bolts.
...but rest assured my friend, it is a direct bolt-on, no modification necessary water pump made specifically for the 7.3L PSD engine in our Ford trucks.

That's why I said for me, it's a no-brainer. Makes my brain not cramp!

I like pushing the EASY button!

You got me bud. You would have to direct that question to Clay.

What a coincidence, I read Airtex moved their operations to china a couple of years ago.

I just ordered the genuine Ford pump from Tousley for $242. Hope it comes with everything needed. I already have the billet stat housing.

I like Riffraff and I have purchased from them, but the pump they sell is not the same as the one from Ford.

It's a water pump............
I used an Airtex AW4114(new) from Rock Auto 3 years ago. Still going strong and cost was under $70...
Came with all o rings and gaskets and a new outlet elbow too...

Maybe so but I had a bad experience with a Chinese water pump on another vehicle. "It's just a water pump" is no consolation when stranded in the Mexican desert.

Besides that I like getting the best I can find for my baby, anything wrong with that?
