2nd Gen Tacoma Water Pump.

217k on my 2010. I replaced the hoses and thermostat at 150k as preventative maintenance. No issues at all with this super reliable truck.

Mine has 146K and it's starting to leak out of the puke hole. I intended to do it around 150K, didn't quite make it.

My friend own a 2006 Tacoma with 100k on it, and he was told he should replace the water pump, even though it's not even in the maintenance schedule book. The Toyota dealership he goes to recommended it being done between 60-100k.

I own a 2008 with 64k, is this something I should be thinking about? I never heard of replacing a perfectly good working accessory on a engine.

My water pump just let go in my 2008 at 339K! Miracle it lasted as long as it did. Original thermostat as well, which I also replaced. Leave it alone unless it's leaking.

Thermostat, water pump, all pulleys, tensioner, and fluids (didnt change hoses they looked fine but should have) done around 144k just for preventative maintenance.
Should just just replaced hoses and radiator at the same time but didnt think that one through!
