I just ran 2200 miles, 950 in ones straight shot (68k miles on car) and I was thinking about the water pump, watching my temp gauge consistently. I did check for play and leaks (All good) before I left
Now that I'm at 70k, 14 years old, a new W/P, Low temp Termo. and Flush seem like good preventative maintenance at this time especially having gotten through that trip with no issues
Only thing is I'm not set up to do Vacuum fill including no compressor
Honestly, I only jacked the rear up, drained the lower hose, did my jobs, and filled it with the back still jacked. Then set flat, refill, run to temp, and check it. I had no air bubbles or issues.
