Not really sure that's the case, I'm on my forth belt at 249,580 miles and still the orig pump!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> I inspect it each time for leaks and it seems to be fine. Now, if cash isn't an issue for you then by all means replace it. Better off safe than sorry while your already in there. I'm basically a cheap bastard. I flush the coolant every other year and change the Eng oil every 2500 miles and can't seem to kill it. It also isn't burning any oil yet! So, maybe each rig is different or mine wasn't built on a Friday close to beer thirty!!

Most important is replacing that belt due to it being an interference motor. For those of you who don't know what that means, when the belt goes there is no longer anything to keep your pistons from B**** slapping your valve train!! Thus needing some serious engine repairs that would likely exceed LKQ assy replacement. So, change those belts before 60k for sure and pumps when needed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
