So yea, I'm not sayin' it still can't fail, but I've seen more vehicles with over 100K with the factory part, than the amount of vettes here that fail with less than 30K or even 20K.
The climate may also play a part. Colder regions have a wider temp spread between winter and summer than say what we get here in Florida.

Does the coolant really look pink when it's leaking? I would think anything pink would be tranny fluid.

My car is my daily driver, so it never sits. The car goes in tomorrow. I will know for sure tommorow. Hopefully my powertrain warranty covers it....fingers crossed. I will keep you guys updated. Thanks for all of the replies!

But even 39K is better than what gets posted here, but still not good.

And is there anything besides the original GM design, that we can install for longer life?

I had small-pink-puddle syndrome this time last year. Waterpump went on my '06 at around 20k.
