Tony Ingram Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Anybody know where I can get a new water pump for my thermodyne? Can't get my 53' H61 back on the road until I get it replaced and my boy's been bugging the heck outta me to go for a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 should be the same an any 6 cylinder diesel Mack. they only made two or three of them back then and the only differences are the length of the shaft and sometimes the clockin where it bolts to the oil cooler. think an 237 water pump should fit most thermodyne's. may have to use your old spacer blocks for the oil cooler tho.

rick harper Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 You can send it to the Mack Reman facility and they could rebuilt it. I have done this several times. It has to be called/shipped from your local Mack dealer. Check part number 316GC184NX that might work. Does not come with the pulley but just pull it off.

Tony Ingram Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 As far as I know the truck is completely original, thanks for all of the input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I found mine on eBay. They were slight differences in the pumps. You need to compare it carefully with the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
