Water pump OEM FORD or OEM Toyota
from 88k to 150k miles, I put in a new water pump ($27). otherwise very reliable and easy to find parts as there are tons of them in the junkyards.
Awful design by Ford to put the water pump inside the engine. I almost bought one of these used a few years ago, but backed out after reading about 3-4k jobs to replace a water pump at 180-100k miles.
Pretty sure this is the motor that needs the engine dropped to do waterpump and timing components. Bad bad design
The 3.5 5th generation Explorer has an internal water pump driven by the timing chain. It’s an enormous pain to change requiring significant disassembly (nearly 12 hours of labor) and generally includes replacing the timing chain in the process since you’re already in there, plus when it fails it can easily mix the coolant with the oil and destroy the engine, all that’s keeping them apart is a little seal.
OEM. Went aftermarket 2 times in a year replacing that pump. Finally bit the bullet and paid for toyota part.
I have a 2021 BS BB and I’m on my 3rd water pump replacement. 1st one around 20k miles, 2nd at 40k, now at the dealer with 51k miles and replacing it yet again.
