I went on and finally installed this thing today. I brought it a few weeks ago...Install was easy and like Blackened300A I had to use lock washers on the 4 bolts that attach the pulley to the water pump. I got it in with out taking the fan shroud off so It was a piece of cake.
Trilogy owners: If you will be installing this pump or are in the market for one loosen your bolts up on the water pump pulley first before you take the tension off the belt. Also reminder to get the belt in place before you go and reinstall the water pump pulley. The alternator bracket is in the way of sliding the belt around.
PS:D Dont forget to burp the system fill the coolant tank first then the crossover tube let it run till no more bubbles and put your plug back in. If the plug is hard to get out use a set of vise grips just on the edge will work like a charm.
