Anyone ever consider this a general maintenance issue ? Meaning almost like a timing belt. Never heard of the actual water pump fail BUT have heard of numerous seal failures.....that would sure ruin my day going through Tennessee at midnite on my way up to Iowa and Minnesota about mid November.... then to Michigan then to Massachusetts THEN back to Florida. What's the best brand of pump ? Is the test of the seal drag good enuff ? I've only changed TWO of these in my days .. I'm sure there are guys here that have changed that many in two weeks time !
