Ok how do you know it is going.
Here is 3 things to check
#1 is it leaking water out of the bottom?
#2 squeeze the top hose( after it has reached operating temp) and squeeze the hose. As you release it you will feel a rush of water
#3 Look at the pully and see if it is wobbling?
#4 Is it over heating( more likly a theromostate)?
If these things are NOT present your water pump is ok.
To replace it is a fairly easy job. About 1 hour
Depending on where you live plan on spending say 130-170
