The stock unit's internal mechanical shaft seal degrades over time, creating chronic weeping at the vent hole and gradual bearing wear that leads to pulley wobble and serpentine belt misalignment. Furthermore, repetitive heat cycling weakens the stamped impeller and factory thermostat seals on the \u003cstrong\u003eVortec 6.0L (LY6 \/ L96)\u003c\/strong\u003e block, inducing localized hot spots and micro-boiling that compromise cooling capacity when pulling grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis direct-fit replacement water pump features a high-density cast-aluminum housing optimized for high hydraulic efficiency and resistance to porosity. Inside, an upgraded unitized mechanical seal paired with heavy-duty dual-row bearings handles sustained high-RPM operation and high-tension belt loads without weeping. The high-flow impeller resists cavitation to maximize flow velocity across the cylinder heads. Complete with a matched thermostat and pre-cut composite sealing gaskets, this kit eliminates cross-leakage and provides a rigid mating surface that matches OEM references \u003cstrong\u003e12681417\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e12600767\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eAW6009\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Engine Water Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Thermostat Housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Thermostat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Rectangular Gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Oval Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 Mounting Bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2007-2013 Chevrolet Suburban 2500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e6.0L V8 (LY6 \/ L96) \/ GMT900\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e352 hp \/ 382 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e12681417, 12600767, AW6009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2007-2013 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 6.0L V8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the GMT900 Suburban 2500?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2007-2013 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eLY6\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eL96\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0L V8 engine.
