I am looking for advice on continuous water pump problems, 2003 Explorer, 4L, V6. We are the 3rd owner. Here's some history:
Original Owner Records:
Nov 2004 - Coolant Recovery Tank, Tstat, and Oring Replaced
Nov 2006 - Owner complained of leaking coolant. Pressure tested and found water pump leaking. Recommend replacement of water pump and owner refused.
Jan 2007 - Water Pump Replaced
Apr 2008 - Cooling system flushed, chemically cleaned, pressure tested
2nd Owners Records (Relative):
Apr 2009 - Water Pump, Tstat Replaced
Mar 2011 - Water Pump Replaced
Our Records (We purchased in Nov 2012):
Dec 2014 - Water Pump Replaced
Oct 2015 - Water Pump Leaking - AGAIN!
As you can see there is a history of continuous problems with the water pump. Prior to replacing again, does anyone have any suggestions? Is there something else that has been overlooked?
Thanks for your help!
