Aren't the bearings in a waterpump sealed anyways? I hear things like coolant helps lubricate the water pump, but I always thought the coolant was just in contact with the pump's impellers? If thats true then water pump failure should have nothing to do with the type of coolant used. Also, Dex-Cool isn't as horrible as its reputation makes it to be. I would never recommend going 150K in it like some GM car manuals state, but if changed every 30K or so I don't think it would be problematic. An article from GM stated only a few engines suffered problems with Dex-Cool, but they were design specific.
