You might as well spend a few extra bucks and get the water neck from dieselsite also.

The old one tends to deform in the base and will cause leaks.

You might get lucky and be able to use the old one with out any leaks, but for only 32 dollars, your better off just replacing it and only having to deal with it just once. And when you take off the old one, chances are you will find corrosion on the inside and you don't want that in your cooling system.
