Truck Load of failures....
All three of these M96 powered vehicles showed up on a single truck today at the Flat 6 facility for our specialized internal procedures... All three of these feature failed engines, all three with intermix and bad water pumps have already proven to have killed at least two of them.
These cars came from Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee.. Amazing.. three cars on one truck, all headed to the same small town in the North Georgia Mountains :-)
The Boxster pictured here belongs to a 986forum member, I'll be posting his updates here like I did with Pat's job a couple of weeks ago.

Yet again, mileage has ZERO impact on the occurrences and damage caused by the failed water pump..
One of the 996s has 47K miles, its a 2000
The other 996 is a 99 with 50,648 miles
The Boxster is an 01S with 57,810 miles

Nope, she would have been sitting on the gearshift knob!
If she was driving the truck would have been lost somewhere in the mountains and the cars still wouldn't be here!!

Quite a sight...I assume the plastic impeller on the pumps was another cost saving measure? I'm going to change mine when I do the oil; just renewed my coolant, so I suppose I'll lose quite a bit when I R&R the pump, but that's pretty negligible compared to the damage a broken pump can inflict...hadn't even considered it, until I read your posts about cylinder head damage.
BTW, Nancy would have had her car airlifted on her private USAF jet paid for by the US taxpayers, 'cause she's special.
