Car runs great and have zero issues, but I've read horror stories about catastrophic water pump failure, I've read so many things on this my head is spinning, but I'm aware that my mileage is getting up there and I may be entering the 'water pump' danger zone.
A local shop recommended doing a BG coolant flush (I think a coolant flush is a service item at a 100k), and with that comes with a warranty, so if the pump did fail it might be covered by BGs warranty, now this sounds to good to be true, what do you think?
My other option is to have the water pump replaced, which around $1500, so certainly not the cheapest option, but how common is the issue?
I'm also considering having the transmission flushed/drained refilled,it is a service item at 150k but have read mixed things on things, some people swear by Fords service schedule, others say no way transmission fluid will last that long and Ford (well the bean counters) consider the car EOL after 150k anyway, so you need to get it done early, what are the best options?
