If you bought an aftermarket water pump like Gates that's Chinese made YES replace it with a Cummins pump. While doing so buy a QUALITY US Made belt. Other than that have you changed the antifreeze?
At 150k adjust valves.
Yes the current one is a Gates. Has lasted 50K miles and has no issues. I'm sure the Cummins pump might be better at 3X the price. However, that's kinda like the Chinese wheel bearings. Some crater in a year and some last forever, Who knows??
