I love my ‘24 Big Bend. Bought it off the lot with 28 miles and has been my daily driver for 2 years. Racked up 50K miles pretty fast and I get oil changes every 5K. One had one issue and needed my Water Pump replaced after leaking all my coolant and wasn’t getting heat. Was covered under warranty and didn’t have to pay anything.
'22 OBX has treated me well enough aside from the recalls and water pump. A beast in my rural Canadian snow, and feel like a tank on the road.
Fortunately the factory Ford pumps aren't terribly expensive. M-8501-M50A is the Ford racing part number, includes: pump, pulley, bolts.
Otherwise, given the information you've shared, I think replacing the pump is a good idea.
I am budgeting in a water pump job too.
I had a 2017 GT… here are common issues that I also ended up having:
Water pump went out at 60k
AC started to struggle, especially on hot days, around 70k miles
Only thing that left me stranded was the water pump. I thought I had a squeaking belt for the week leading up to it. I was wrong lol
2006 Ford Explorer with the V6. Somehow went through four water pumps in one year. Made of the cheapest ticky tacky bullshit.
I had my issues with the 2nd gen (water pump failure)
Ford 3.5L water pump with a plastic gear won't last 70,000!
