This makes sense. I read on a BMW site that they recomend replacing the water pump at every other timing belt replacement. And their timing belt replacement schedule is the same as the 92 Pathfinder....every 60k. Also, I don't think the water pump is driven by the timing belt. Isn't it on one of the other belts? Thanks everyone for all the info.

The manual gives steps to using it. 1 set parking brake 2 depress brake 3 put in first gear or R to move backward 4 put left foot on brake and release parking brake 5 turn ignition switch to "on" 6 press and release the interlock 7 turn ignition to start while at the same time depress accelerator. As the truck moves take left foot off of the brake. Hope this helps

Thanks for the response. Your water pump went out a week later? What a coincidence. I just wonder why in the manual they have no replacement intervals for something so crucial as a water pump....... Makes you think the pump is designed to last.

I'm about to have my timing belt replaced and after looking at the configuration and location of the water pump, I just don't see where or how it would cause the timing belt to slip unless it (the water pump) was just plastered. And if it was leaking that bad, wouldn't I know it before it was so bad that it caused slipping of the timing belt. Seems like an un necessary expense if my water pump is perfectly fine. I can get the timing belt replaced parts and labor for around 220....but add the water pump and it jumps up to almost 400 dollars. Seems like a rip off . So, how many of you guys have actually had experience with the water pump causing the timing belt to go out? Thanks in advance.
