Water pump replacement

My 4runner has 90K miles and I'm having the timing belt replaced. Should I also have the water pump replaced while the shop is replacing the timing belt for preventative maintenance? I'll save about $150-$200 in labor but I'm not sure how long water pumps last.

I have a '99 4runner V6 4x4 and will probably keep it anouther 3-4 years.

Thanks for your suggestions.
Jeff

Re: Water pump replacement

Most people replace the water pump at the same time.

Re: Water pump replacement

Well since your doing the timing belt anyway and you can affod to do the water pump at the same time, you may as well do it. I have seen water pumps last well up and over 200k but hey they can be a pain to replace on their own.

At least you'll know it won't go on you if you replace it now.
