If it is working, leave it alone. And when it does go bad. Get a Mopar one.

 

Does the same apply to the radiator? I had my original replaced two years ago when it developed a major leak. They did not use a Mopar replacement. The dealer got the radiator from O'Reilly's Auto Parts. The water pump was not replaced at that time. Just recently it failed again, but not as bad of a leak. I went to a different dealer this time. Both the radiator and the water pump were replaced with Mopar parts.

I'd agree, the OEM pump on my Durango went out at 161k.
My better half insisted I replace it with a genuine Mopar part.
I wish I'd replaced mine at 156k😀

 

Ditto! Why replace something that isn't bad and take the risk? Still cool good at 150?

 

I was one of those that had my water pump go out early (27,000 miles). I replaced it with a remanufactured pump before finding out those were crap. Ended up getting a OEM water pump with 33,000 miles or so and it has not failed in 8-9 years.

Like said, if it isn't broke don't change it and chances are it will last a lot longer than you think. You have one of the good ones.

 

Yeah, my pump went at 36k. Fortunately for me still under warranty.

 

I had mine replaced at 54k miles and wondered why so early at normal daily driving. Had it replaced and now I have double the mileage and replacement still going strong. Could be just production or assembly problems being it was the new model design from the 2014 model.

 

My 2013 WP failed @ 113k miles. Almost 200k miles now on the replacement MOPAR pump.
