Are u thinking of the black rubber "bushing" that sits inside the water pump housing that the water tube goes into. {It sits below the guide tube} These can be bought separately.

yes I believe its the bushing, what can I search for to find just that part?

26-38970 or 18-3110 sierra . Fit 1/2 inch water tube,dont try to run it with out the grommet.

If you are speaking of the black piece at the adapter end of the tube there is one at each end. Remove the plastic guide tube and insert into water pump housing. Make sure there is not one already there as they usually don't just fall out. Tube should not go thru "bushing". It is tapered and will fit snuggly on tube. Apply a little lube before assembly.

I do have the rubber adapter piece under the guide tube at pump housing, but does one also go at the end of copper when it gets raised back into mid section? I stuck it on the end for viewing purposes, I just could have swore I lost a small black bushing or something when I lowered it, but havent found anything

Was it the soft rubber ring on the driveshaft? Maybe it split and flew away.

**stivov1** · 08-04-2016, 07:53 PM

not sure, searched my garage bunch of times and cant find anything, trying to just go off schematics to make sure I have all pieces before I put it back on , hard to tell from schematics, but I dont think anything goes under guide tube?

The same black bushing goes on both ends. One helps seal at power head and the other seals at the water pump end. yes there is one below the guide tube. Same part. Ask rock, hes the man.
