Sierra Impeller 18-3060, Replaces 1003026 22212, for Ford Engines

The Sierra 18-3060 is a neoprene water pump impeller engineered for Ford marine engines, designed as a direct replacement for the raw water pump component that circulates cooling water through the engine block. This impeller uses a 12-fin design to move water efficiently at the volumes these engines require, helping maintain proper operating temperature and preventing the overheating that leads to costly engine damage. Neoprene construction gives the impeller the flexibility needed to seal against the pump housing while resisting wear from repeated flexing as the fins pass through the pump cam. Over time, impeller fins can crack, curl, or shed material, which reduces water flow and raises the risk of overheating; replacing the impeller on a regular service interval, or as soon as flow problems are noticed, keeps the cooling system working as intended. The 18-3060 is built to the same fit and function as the original equipment part it replaces, so installation follows the same procedure as removing the old impeller: pulling the pump housing, swapping the worn impeller for the new one, and reassembling with a new gasket or seal as needed. This impeller is intended for Ford engines and cross-references directly to the OEM numbers used on those applications, making it straightforward to confirm before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What engines does the Sierra 18-3060 impeller fit? The Sierra 18-3060 impeller is designed for Ford engines.

What OEM part numbers does the 18-3060 replace? The 18-3060 replaces OEM numbers 1003026 and 22212, so either of those part numbers points to the correct Sierra 18-3060 impeller.

What material is the impeller made from? It is made from neoprene, a flexible synthetic rubber that holds up well to the repeated bending the fins undergo as they pass through the water pump housing.

How many fins does the 18-3060 have? This impeller has a 12-fin design, which is the configuration used on the Ford engine water pumps it fits.

How much does the 18-3060 impeller weigh? The Sierra 18-3060 impeller weighs 0.72 pounds.

How do I know if my impeller needs to be replaced? Reduced water flow, engine overheating, or visibly cracked, curled, or torn fins on the old impeller are signs the 18-3060 should be installed as a replacement.

Is the 18-3060 a genuine Sierra part or aftermarket? The 18-3060 is a Sierra-branded impeller manufactured to match the fit and function of the original Ford engine impeller it replaces.

What is included when I order the 18-3060? Ordering the 18-3060 includes one neoprene impeller; gaskets or housing seals for the water pump are not part of this listing unless stated separately.

Can I use the 18-3060 on a non-Ford engine? The 18-3060 is designated for Ford engines; confirm your engine matches before ordering, since impellers are engine-specific by fin count and dimensions.

Does the UPC 030999315168 correspond to this exact impeller? Yes, UPC 030999315168 identifies the Sierra 18-3060 impeller specifically.

Is installation of the 18-3060 something I can do myself? Replacing the 18-3060 follows the standard water pump service procedure of removing the pump housing, swapping the worn impeller, and reassembling with a proper seal, which is a routine maintenance task for those comfortable working on the raw water cooling system.
