I'd say your pump will make it. Generally when a pump goes it gives you plenty of warning. Maybe I'm blessed but, I see no need to "schedule" a pump change. Just food for thought.

RIP,
WOW! That long on your origional pump? Now that's reallly impressive. I've always gone by the recommendations that Toyota delaership has given me. I'm kinda pissed-off cuz
they always pushed these type items on me in the past infering that if it goes I can only blame myself.
OK I know a pump can go at anytime just like a light bulb BUTTTT the recommended change out time by the dealership AND the fact that you've had such good luck indicates a very wide variance in miles. All I want is to get it last til the 260,000 miles and then reevaluate the situation/pocket book then. For the sake of my pocket book and such for sure I'm not gonna change the pump for sure unless they tell me the seal is leaking. After all under my moms care it wasn't driven very much (since 180,000 miles, put on new pump then) and now I only have about 210,000 miles tell me only the
timing belt my main issue now and that's a separate issue in-itself.
Thank you it was the best information received as far.
