Preventive Water pump R&R?
The Car-01 Firehawk-mileage-100k. In the next few months, I will be replacing both radiator hoses, flushing the radiator, replacing the drive belt, replacing the thermostat ect. The water pump is not leaking or giving me any indication it might, but I was wondering if it would be a good idea while I am in there just to replace it now. Also, is there any other maintenance items I might want to do while I am in there? (I'm thinking idler and belt tensioner) Thanks.

Change tensioner and idler for both main belt and AC belt also.
Also change AC belt.
Dex-Cool is said to attack silicone... so if your water pump gaskets are not leaking, then perhaps switch to Presone All.

I'd say if you're itching to do it, then do so, but if it ain't broke there's no need to fix it. Same thing with your belts-look and see if there're any cracks or chunks missing. As long as they don't have too many miles on them and they're intact there's no need to change them either...
