Here's the rundown:
1) new OEM water pump in 2002
2) has 12,000 miles on it since install (truck doesn't get out much)
3) entire cooling system rebuilt with new parts over course of past 3 years (every hose, ratchet strap, thermostat, etc..., even new radiator)
Out fishing the other day when the H20 pump starts squealing and spewing coolant out from the bottom of the housing (?weep hole?). Drop all of my coolant and have to be towed home.
Never had an OEM Toyota part fail that quickly (few miles). Am I missing something that could be contributing to it's premature failure or did I just get a bum part to begin with?
Scratching my head here in disappointment,
