Go to "Official Mopar Site Recalls" put in your Vin # and you will see everything that has been done and yet to be.
They ONLY replace the pumps that look like mine. Notice the shaft is flush to end of pulley. If yours stick past they will NOT replace it. Also mine has a rough casting on the tapered end of the pulley. the "GOOD" one has a ring around the tapered end that is machined smooth and has letters cast into the tapered edge.

After reading about all years it almost seems like it's worth spending $50 every 50k or 60k miles for a pump. I don't go to a dealer unless I absolutely have to.

Someone had asked what happens when the water pump fails. I got bit by the bad water pump yesterday on my way home from work. 77,000 miles on the truck. It seized and threw the belt when I was creeping along in rush hour traffic. The belt got all wrapped around the fan shaft and bent it. I lost all power steering and power brakes. In fact, it was worse than that. The steering was practically locked up and I had to stand on the brakes just to keep the truck from moving under idle. I hate to think what would of happened if I was traveling 70 mph or towing anything. It would have been very bad. Luckily I was able to get off the road and into a parking lot without incident. No lights on the dash to indicate overheating. So I got lucky there. I was so freaked, I didn’t think to flip the EVIC to the temp gauge to see how hot it got.

Genos garage has new style Cummins brand pumps for $49.95, idk why they’re so cheap, and gates pumps for $68. Not sure why one would even wait to do it.
I can’t drive to the dealer and back twice with 2 vehicles for that much. Not to mention the time spent dicking around with the dealer.
$50 and an hour in the driveway = fixed.
Worst cast $160 in the driveway = fixed. Still better than the dealer option imo.
Don’t trip over dollars to pick up cents.
Although your post is a month old, what convinces you Genos has the lasted and greatest water pump for the 6.7 ????? Dealers are on a waiting list for these pumps, yet Genos or whomever has them :h .
First notice of the recall, no pumps, and now in a very limited quantity for the recall. Getting one from Genos does not make sense .
