My son just had his '02 Dmax water pump changed at 198k however the cost was 800 bucks which included a pump/fluids/labor and a new thermostat.
His diesel mechanic just changed all 8 injectors but declined the water pump job and referred to another area diesel shop who has changed several Dmax water pumps before. My son has built a couple of 327/350 engines when he drag raced a chevy II in the early '80s so he has very good mechanical abilities but backed out of this one.
