Default Water pump out twice in 3 months....

What would be the reason for a water pump going out twice in 3 months. The propeller basically fell off the shaft. No damage to the engine.

Default Do you see your picture in your post? Neither do we

This is my factory OE pump after 60k miles.

What brand of pump are you buying? From who?

That's not metal.... Plus, if you're using G12, you should be using the plastic impeller.
