scheduled maintenance
I work for UPS, and alot of my repairs are on a time basis. Sometimes the parts arent actually bad on the trucks, but have a limited life left in them. It is cheaper to replace the part now while in the shop, then out along the side of the road. Then you have packages that miss service and a ticked off supervisor.
My question, How long are the water pumps seeming to last on mod motors. my truck is a 98 with 170k miles. It has the stock waterpump stock idler pullies belt tensioner and belt. The belt is cracked slightly but well below the 12 cracks per inch replacement spec.
How long have your parts lasted???

I have 225,000 and still going strong. I put a stethocope on to try to hear if the bearings were sounding rough, but sounded normal to me. Does the waterpump have sealed bearings or are they always running in the coolant?
