How crucial is it to replace the water pump on these? I've heard a lot of people say that Mitsu doesn't really call for it when you do the timing belt. The only reason I ask is because money is tight right now.

when i got my 60k service done at LMS i didnt replace my water pump cause it was still in good working condition, i asked lonnie if it was necessary to have replaced he said it all depends cause he seen water pumps go bad at 30k miles and some that last till 70k miles, so pretty much if its leaking coolant then replace it, but if its not then its fine but the only prob is that if it goes bad say 10k miles after you get the service done and need to get it replaced you are gonna end up paying almost the same labor as when you got the 30/60k service just to replace the water pump, thats why most ppl get it replaced at the time of the service cause when everything is off its easy to access the water pump. hope this helps.
