As those numbers on your Ford Explorer's odometer get bigger, certain parts are going to wear out and need to be replaced. The alternator, the starter and the water pump will all probably need be switched out with new ones at least once in 100,000 miles. The Ford Explorer Water Pump is literally the "heart" of the cooling system, keeping the engine's operating temperature withing ideal parameters.

Thousands of small explosions taking place every minute inside the cylinders create temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Since the metals that make up most of your engine's components are superior heat conductors, that temperature can go up in a hurry.

The Ford Explorer Water Pump circulates water through special passages in the engine block, called "water jackets," keeping that heat under control. The water absorbs excess heat and carries to the radiator where it "radiates" to the exterior of the vehicle via the hundreds of tiny cooling fins.

If any part of this cooling system fails, the engine will overheat, suffering warped cylinder heads, burnt valves, or a cracked engine block. It may seize up altogether. Your cooling system should be inspected for leaks periodically. If you see water dripping from the Ford Explorer Water Pump, it may indicate that a new one is needed - or you may simply need to replace a gasket.
