But if you were to do it your self, at Auto Zone a manufactured water pump is no more than 30 dollars and a thermostat is no more than 10 dollars. I prefer you doing this, or having someone you know who knows a little about mechanizing to change them. But if your were to have to hire someone to install it DO NOT go to the dealer, go to a back woods auto mechanic who will be 5-6 times cheaper than the dealer in labor. If you have a warranty,Yes they will cover it.

I can't access All data from home but I would guess dealer price would be be around $500. or more. Why would you care if it’s under warranty?
