The blocks in these trucks have sand in them from casting and this will cause water pump failures, but not yearly. You could get a coolant filter to get rid of the sand, but I still think it's all your fault. What are you doing to this poor thing? Just kidding , are these aftermarket pumps? What kind of coolant are you running?
