I have 125k miles and figured I'm just going to replace the entire SRT-6 water pump at this time.

I found a lot of aftermarket water pumps using the above mentioned SRT-6 part number, and would like to ask if this listing is reasonable to use? https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Water-P...1/172433268997

My understanding is that many aftermarket SRT-6 water pumps need to be tapped for one of the bolt holes and that they also have a different alternator placement arm vs. N/A water pumps.

Any advice or confirmation on that aftermarket SRT-6 water pump?

Great hint/suggestion from a prior member, as you remove the bolts from the old water pump, place them in a cardboard copy of the waterpump holes so you do not mix the bolts in the holes. SOME BOLTS ARE LONGER/SHORTER THAN OTHERS! You do not want to strip out or bust a bolt in the wrong holes!
