3.5L Explorer at 320k km – how real is the water pump failure risk?
2014 Ford Explorer XLT
Cooling system just serviced, no leaks, coolant stable after ~7k km.
I know these engines have internal water pump concerns.
Recently did:
Transmission drain & fill
Coolant flush
Full inspection (no major issues)
Runs smooth, no leaks, no codes.
👉 For long-term owners:
Did your water pump fail suddenly or give warning signs?
At what mileage did it happen (if it did)?
