Hello, everyone. The water pump bearings are going out (again) on my 1994 Ram 1500 5.2L and I plan on replacing it with one that came on the replacement engine that I will eventually be swapping into this truck. I have run into a snag, however: the water pump on the truck now has a press on pulley, whereas the other water pump has a 4 bolt flange for a bolt on pulley. The water pump does not have the pulley with it, and I am not sure where to get one. I have checked the local parts stores with no luck, and I have only been able to find one online and it is more expensive than a new water pump!
A couple of questions:
1.) the obvious one: where can I get a bolt on pulley for relatively cheap? Junkyard, maybe?
2.) why are there two different methods of pulley attachment for these trucks?
