btw that was the best price I could find for anyone else considering this product.

I don't think I'm going to replace either pumps unless I see/feel wear. To me these are not detrimental if they fail, therefore I will go back and fix it if they do fail. I have never been a fan of "throwing" parts at it. Now if I was having someone else doing the work I would have them do everything while they are in there. Just my .02.
Changing your water pump and cam/crank seals is a lot closer to changing your oil (preventive maintenance) than it is to parts-bin troubleshooting.

Those of us saying to replace everything you can get to are just trying to save some effort later, though it may easily be years before the effort you didn't make matters.
