If its the original or you are not sure it has ever been done, I would change it pronto. Preventative maintenance is the way to roll!!

150,000 is recommended coolant. Change water pump, all rubber hoses, thermostat and be sure to use OEM coolant and New water pump.

I was getting ready had done the planning then sold the car. So NO I have not but it doesn't look any more difficult than the one on my 7.3 Ltr Diesel or my corvette wegged under the low hood or any of the ones I have done over the last 50 or so years.
