I’m at 84k now (I bought the 03’ X 10 years ago already!) and my Valley Pan has the infamous coolant leak down the bell housing. My left bank valve cover has a slight oil leak along with the timing chain cover. So, I’m having all the leaks repaired now along with the Intake Manifold Rear Cover and any hoses he can get at while he’s back there and has it all apart.
Question is whether I should just go ahead and replace the water pump and thermostat while it’s torn apart anyway. There are no leaks coming from it, the tech checked it out and there is no play in it.
