Default How crucial is secondary/after-run water pump?...
Mine's leaking, but from what I've read in the archives I'm starting to wonder if it's really worth the headache of replacing it. I did already buy the part though.

Default figure two hours to R&R tops - i dont really see a need to keep it personally, thats up to you
though. since you already have the replacement you may as well put it in

Doesn't turn on very often at all. I bought it, but I'll be deleting it when I go in there

I'd be paying someone to do it. Maybe I should just say heck with it

Default i took mine out all the way . replaced it with an elbow 3/4" from pepboys
or even better run a hose from behind the motor to the front - replacing the pump with its 2 hoses.. you should be able to do w/o taking the manifold out.
