Cadillac Escalade Engine Water Pumps

Like other big engines, that of the Cadillac Escalade generates a huge amount of heat. In order to control engine temperature and keep it within an effective and safe range, there is a reliable cooling system consisting of a radiator, water pump, thermostat, and some other parts. The water pump is responsible for providing coolant circulation through narrow channels located in the engine, throttle body, heater core, etc.; thanks to this circulation, the fluid transfers heat from the hottest engine parts to the radiator for further dissipation.

Therefore, the condition of the pump is vital to prevent engine overheating. Although the housing of this part may look intricate, its mechanism is relatively simple and includes the shaft with an impeller, bearings, and seals protecting the bearings from a chemically aggressive coolant. The pump is generally durable enough, but the sealing and bearings gradually wear out. When the seals are faulty, you can see coolant leaks under the vehicle, which means the fluid has already reached the bearings, and you need to replace the pump as soon as possible to avoid dangerous overheating. A large collection of Cadillac Escalade water pumps is available here.
