[A930Rocket]

My 2001 Ford F150 with a 5.4 has 221k miles on the clock. Other than routine maintenance (belts, hoses, plugs, cops, fuel pump, shocks, ball joints, etc), I've replaced an alternator at about 130k miles and had the trans rebuilt at 190k miles. This motor just keeps going and going and going.

Would you change the water pump? What else?

On a side note, I was stuck in traffic tonight and noticed a red temp light on. Looked at the temp gauge and it was pegged in the red. Pulled off the highway, turned off the engine for 10 minutes and all was good when I started it back up. Made a bee line for a gas station and put some water in, but not much. Drove another 25 miles home in stop and go traffic without a problem.
