Is anyone else having trouble locating a water pump from dealer? My truck has been at the dealership for 3+ weeks waiting for a water pump. I spoke to the service advisor and he let me know they are back ordered with unknown date of receiving one.

I had a squeaky water pump on my Ecodiesel earlier this year (40,000 kms)
No issue other than noise
Waited about 8 weeks or so for it to arrive
Was swapped out, no issues.
Not sure if Hemi pump is different.
Hope this helps.

Dealer got a water pump in. Took about 28 Days. Picked up the truck after they test drove and just to find out after popping the hood that the pulley is wobbling crazier than ever. Went back and showed the service advisor. Ordered a new pump again :cry:

Are their aftermarket water pumps available through parts stores?

Yes aftermarket is available but i would rather wait for a Mopar pump.
GMB is good quality. I wouldn't hesitate to run them. And obviously there is some quality issues with the Mopar pump, hence needing to replace the brand new one

Rock Auto also shows the Mopar one as being available, but I can't verify
