A complete LEAPTIGER AW6009 water pump kit that replaces the factory unit and includes a pre-installed thermostat plus metal gaskets for a direct-fit cooling system repair on many 2007–2020 GM V8 trucks and SUVs.

If your Chevy, GMC, Cadillac or Hummer with a 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L or 6.2L V8 needs a reliable cooling solution, this kit supplies the pump, thermostat and gaskets necessary for a proper replacement. Designed as a direct OEM-style swap, the assembly arrives with a thermostat pre-installed and metal sealing surfaces to help reduce leaks and simplify installation. The kit is bundled and tested by LEAPTIGER under factory-guided processes and comes with a one-year limited warranty plus a 30-day refund option.

How does this water pump kit match my vehicle?

The AW6009 kit is engineered to match factory fitment for a long list of GM models—from Silverado and Sierra to Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, Yukon, Escalade and select Hummer, Saab and Isuzu trucks around 2007–2020. Fitment covers specific V8 displacements and model years, so confirm your engine size and year against the vehicle list before ordering. Because it is a direct replacement, bolt pattern, pulley interface and coolant passages are designed to align with factory mounting points.

• Direct-replacement pump and pre-installed thermostat for 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L V8 engines
• Compatible with many Chevy, GMC, Cadillac, Hummer, Saab and Isuzu models (2007–2020)
• Includes two metal gaskets and an additional gasket for a complete seal

What components come with the kit and why do they matter?

This kit includes one water pump, a thermostat pre-installed in the pump housing, two metal gaskets plus one additional gasket. Metal gaskets provide more robust sealing against warpage and coolant leaks than some molded types. Receiving all necessary sealing hardware reduces the likelihood of repeat disassembly and speeds up a single-service repair.

• 1x water pump with integrated thermostat — eliminates separate thermostat installation steps
• 2x metal gaskets and 1x gasket — metal seals resist compression set and improve longevity
• Factory-guided assembly and quality checks to ensure part consistency

How difficult is installation and what should I prepare for?

Installation is intended to be straightforward for someone comfortable with routine engine repairs; it replaces the factory pump with a direct-fit component and uses the included gaskets for sealing. Typical steps involve draining coolant, removing accessory drives or pulleys as needed, unbolting the old pump, and fitting the new pump and gaskets. If you lack hand tools or experience, a professional installation is recommended to ensure correct torque and coolant system bleed procedures.

• Prepare basic hand tools, torque wrench, coolant catch container, and fresh coolant
• Follow proper torque specs and bleed the cooling system after installation
• Allow time for coolant replacement and leak check before driving

What quality assurances and after-sales support does LEAPTIGER provide?

LEAPTIGER performs professional testing and quality control in its factory-guided production lines to minimize defects and ensure performance. The product is backed by a one-year warranty on the water pump and a 30-day refund policy to address buyer concerns. If an issue arises, LEAPTIGER offers after-sales support to troubleshoot fitment or part performance.

• Rigorous testing during manufacturing to meet performance expectations
• 1-year limited warranty and 30-day refund policy for purchase protection
• Customer service available for fitment questions and post-sale support

Confirm your vehicle’s engine size and model year against the fitment list before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
