57600 roughly, no issues to report.

I Kind of want to replace it now, makes sense for it to need to be replaced sometime at least once

Those of you reading this that have the lifetime powertrain warranty should keep in mind that the water pump is a covered part.

Just picked my 08 JK up at dealership today and I was right (Thanks to the knowledge gained from this great forum), the water pump was bad and they replaced it under warranty.

Despite having a 3" lift and 35's, there were no questions asked...
Have to assume they are a "mod-friendly" Jeep dealer and service dept.
Less than a year ago they replaced my front driveshaft under warranty because the boot was torn off. Again, no questions asked.

I've found some staining on my block, but it looks to be coming from a weeping gasket. Left hand side, on top, if you're looking in from the front of the vehicle.

I snugged up the water pump bolts and it seems to be holding ok now. It's on my radar to fix though.

Still running factory hardware at 104,000 miles.
