Other than mileage, what technique can I use to determine the health of a water pump? My temps are fine. I don't hear a noise from the engine. I have 56k miles.

Is this purely proactive maintenance or can you determine when to replace?
Well, I just replaced mine because it started leaking (appeared to be the original, and impellers looked really gnarly). But if you make it a proactive maintenance every couple years, you probably don't have to worry much about this debate.
