Another water pump thread....

[ScottsGT]

My turn....Just rolled over 56K miles. Warranty expired this past November 5th since I took delivery on 11/5/14. Got out of the car in pouring rain on Monday and thought I smelled antifreeze, but didn't think twice about it.
Yesterday driving home on the interstate, the over temp warning lit up like a jackpot on a Vegas slot machine. Immediately pulled over and killed the engine and called a tow truck to get it home.
Heading over to the dealership to get a new one today and then swapping it out this afternoon.

Does anyone know if Ford has improved the design of this pump? Or do I need to go ahead and plan on replacing it again at 100K miles so I'm not on the side of the interstate waiting on a tow truck again?

Consider yourself lucky mine went out at around ~30k so I'll need two more before 100k miles! I believe the replacement is the same part

Took me about 1 hour to 1.5 hour to swap it. Pretty easy job once you get all the hoses out of the way.
