4.6 v8 water pump life expectancy

Hi folks,
New Tundra owner, 2017 4.6 V8 with 43,000 miles.
Looking online there are several threads about the water pump on these motors only lasting about 60,000 miles.
Wondering if this is the case, and if I should prepare to replace mine and what kind of life others have gotten from theirs.
Thanks

 

My 2013 with the 4.6 had 98,000 when I sold it and no issues at all.

 

I would not replace it unless it needed to be replaced. 2017 truck with 40k miles should not need that to be replaced for a long time.

 

I have a ‘19 with the 4.6L, I’m at 63,000 miles, no water pump issues. I didn’t know about this issue until now. How do I know if it goes bad?

 

I believe there will be weeping around the pump, eventually becoming a noticeable leak.

 

Bingo

 

Hi gang, 136k with original pump. Should I be worried? 2010 4.6l

Oops sorry wrong gen, eh...

 

Is it oriental because its made in Japan?

 

Original pump

 

Joke

 

Ok

 

My original lasted 25k before it exploded and replaced under warranty with Toyota. My second one lasted about 200k before it exploded. If it's not leaking leave it alone.

 

Thank you, gang!

 

I have a 2010 Toyota tundra 4.6 with tow package. Mine water pump started leaking at the weep hole, but bearings were excellent? The trans cooler may change life expectancy. But I just changed mine at 147k miles. Went oem pump and 2 gallons of Toyota antifreeze.$180 for parts. And $850 at local garage for the install.
