Hello mudders, I'm involved in some pump jeopardy at the moment. I have a Spanish market 3B diesel 1989 BJ-73 which needs a water pump replacement, but I'm not sure which one to order. Mainly, I have found two variations of pumps; one made up until 08/1988 and one made after. My vehicle is a 1989, and I have found that it sits right on the cusp of many mechanical design changes. Here are the pump designs by Toyota;
1) (up until 1988)
2) (after 1988)
Question is, what are the major differences? They look similar with exception of the mounting surface/gasket. Also, if I have option 1, could I upgrade to the redesign of option 2?. Thanks!
