[QUOTE="Lambeau, post: 16880299, member: 105189"] Yup. The changeover occurred with the Explorer redesign and engine position going from transverse to inline like the F-150s. From what I've read and seen in videos, a leaking water pump is not that easy to detect. You gotta keep an eye on the weep hole on the block. When the water pump fails, water gets in the oil. To access the water pump, the front of the engine has to be removed. Repair cost is $3k-$4k. I'll find the video and post it. It's another reason, besides the PTU issue, why I purchased the Allstate extended warranty (EW). It's 7 years, 125k miles. Our local Ford dealer prefers that to Fords EW. At that time, that's the brand they carried beside Fords. To be clear, Nick, [USER=138337]@13COBRA[/USER] , gave me a very competitive price on a Zurich EW. I went with Allstate since they would more than likely be doing the repairs, and are local. That dealership has since changed hands, and now sells Zurich. So what I'm saying is Zurich is a good EW company, so check with Nick. FWIW, I've heard from at least 3 sources I trust, that Ford is difficult to deal with on EW, and why I did not buy from them.
