Water Pump Failure
I have a 2006 2500 4x4 Diesel. At 67,000 the water pump failed. While it was covered under warranty, I was advised to replace the Serp Belt at $90. Also replaced the front pads for the first time without turning the rotors. Brakes work fine with no pulsing or squeeking. Other than a front differential seal, this is the only issue I have had with this truck since new.

My 04 water pump was still doing fine at 200K. I changed it out just because it is so easy, and I replaced both idler pulleys. The pulley on the tensioner was worn down pretty good but you can get just the pulley/bearing pretty cheap and I would definitely recommend doing it. I have flushed by coolant every 100K with Zerex.
Did my original brakes at 150K and could have gone another 10-20K. I replaced them with Wager Thermo Quiets and pretty happy with 90K on them.
