Heat soak degrades internal bearings, leading to excessive shaft runout, impeller wobble, and coolant leakage via the weep hole. Left unchecked, cavitation and bearing seizure risk critical overheating and localized cylinder head warpage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis direct-fit water pump assembly utilizes a heavy-duty cast aluminum housing designed to match factory coolant routing while resisting thermal distortion. Engineered with a case-hardened bearing and reinforced dynamic shaft seal, it provides long-term resistance to axial play and coolant bypass. The precision-balanced internal impeller maximizes coolant flow rate through the block, effectively scrubbing heat from high-stress combustion chambers during high-load hauling. Supplied with a matched thermostat, integrated housing, and high-temp gaskets, it restores factory cooling loop pressure integrity.\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 GMC Yukon XL 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;\"\u003eVortec 6.0L (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 GMC Yukon XL 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 Yukon XL 2500?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2007-2013 GMC Yukon XL 2500 equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eVortec 6.0L\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eVerify your engine displacement and pulley alignment prior to ordering; this is not configured for light-duty 1500 chassis equipped with 5.3L or 6.2L engines.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the installation torque procedures for the water pump fasteners?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorque the mounting bolts in sequence to 11 lb-ft on the first pass and 22 lb-ft on the final pass using clean, dry threads per factory service manual specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe GMC Heavy-Duty Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to maintain absolute thermal stability under maximum gross combined weight ratings, this cooling kit ensures reliable operating temperatures during sustained hill climbs, severe work cycles, and heavy commercial towing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545113952504,"sku":"DS-E2HMBCNKL","price":108.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-water-pump-kit-for-gmc-yukon-xl-2500-2007-2013-6-0l-1.jpg?v=1790717028","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-water-pump-kit-for-gmc-yukon-xl-2500-2007-2013-6-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
