My water pump went bad leaving me stuck on the highway. Had it replaced at a local shop. One week later the new pump went bad, same shop replaced it for free. 3 months later 50 miles away late at night the pump went bad. I let it cool off (dumped all fluid again), drove it off the highway to a very close shop, had them put a new pump in, told them this was the 3rd time. Another $400.00. Two weeks later, pump went bad in the same place, drove to shop again, replacement for free, plus replacement of pulley (?). Pump went again 5th time again replaced for free. then my heater core went bad and leaked from all the additives. Got rid of this truck because of transmission problems These pumps were from the dealer and are mechanically driven, not a problem with the engine.
