Water Pump Possible Future Replacement
I live in a very hot environment and drive a vehicle where the motor runs very hot at times so am wondering aside from all standard cooling mods shown in my sig should I keep a spare water pump on hand just in case?

If you are overheating, check fan operation and thermostat. Also, consider less coolant and more distilled water and Water Wetter.
Also, be sure radiator isn't clogged and ductwork is intact, forcing air through it, not around it.
Good luck.

I was only asking as a precautionary measure as a friend has indicated it might be a good idea considering the heat where I live. The temperatures here get up to around 120 degrees in summer.
