I wish I knew myself before my overheating probs with the failed first gen water pumps from toyota. Once the new pump was in the engine would work really well when it comes to heating and cooling.

Pros: engine would work well

Cons: overheating probs

Engine water pump is leaking coolant. The pulley and drive belt are slinging the coolant onto other components. Highly recommend to replace with factory parts.

Pros: replace with factory parts

My Tundra was awesome, but guzzled fuel and I drive like an old grandpa. 13-14 mpg is expected. Also, Tundras are fairly expensive to maintain compared to Ford. My water pump went out and it was about $1k to get fixed.

Pros: Tundra was awesome

Cons: guzzled fuel, expensive maintain

Vehicle: Toyota Tundra

a Hepu which went seven years/60,000 miles before it started leaking. I think the additional mass of the metal impeller put more stress on the bearing and seal.

Cons: started leaking, shorter lifespan

Mileage: 96560 km
