GM GENUINE PARTS Water Pump Outlet Assembly with Thermostat — Part 15-11125 (12674639), OE-fit Preassembled

GM Genuine Parts 15-11125 (12674639) is a complete water pump outlet assembly with integrated thermostat engineered to match General Motors' original equipment fit and performance. This assembled outlet and thermostat replaces worn or leaking thermostat housings and restores proper coolant routing in compatible GM vehicles. Built to the same specifications used during vehicle production, the unit combines the outlet fitting, thermostat, and sealing surfaces in one preassembled component to simplify replacement and ensure correct operation with GM cooling systems.

How does this assembled unit differ from a standalone thermostat or housing?

Instead of buying separate pieces, this part arrives preassembled so you replace the entire outlet and thermostat in one step. That reduces the number of gaskets and mating surfaces exposed to failure and ensures the thermostat is installed to factory alignment and orientation.

• Integrated thermostat and outlet housing for one-step replacement
• Preinstalled seals and mounting points to mirror factory assembly
• Fewer leak-prone interfaces compared with separate components
