1st water pump was on a 78 T-Bird, original water pump, more than 200K miles on it done in 1997. It was pissing out coolant through the weep-hole one day.
2nd water pump was changed since the mechanic had to remove it to change the timing belt, which was preventative maintenance on a 120K 97 ranger, this past winter. One of those, since you're doing this, you mind putting on a new one? I did the same with the thermostat and hoses. Did it need it - no...
OK, I just remembered that i had the coolant flushed in my 97 ranger when I bought it, 50K miles, in 2001.
