Advice on Ford F150 Ecoboost
Today I have a 1/2 ton Yukon XL Denali AWD. It does ok with my 6000lb lightweight TT here in the midwest but I dont really trust it across country and my tranny is getting close to needing replaced. ...

Hey guys, just wanted to clarify a couple of things. The 3.5L ecoboost in the trucks uses an external water pump. The 3.5L that is used in the front wheel drives(Flex etc) uses an internal water pump that can leak and cause major engine damage. Just changed timing chains on a Flex and the water pump was replaced as a precaution.
That's good to know. I have a 2013 ECO and have heard both stories on the water pump. Very confusing. Even looked on a Ford forum and got more confused.
I hope you are right, although in 50 years of driving all kinds of vehicles I think I have had maybe 2-3 water pump failures, and some of those vehicles were real dogs :)
