It has been a few years and I am sure they have improved reliability from the old days but I still am reluctant to use them. The higher flow mechanical pumps do a great job and failures are few. An electrical system failure puts you on the hook too for many reasons but a thrown belt or coolant leak from the weep hole is easier to get home.

I do not know if electric water pumps have a higher flow than belt driven high flow pumps or if that is a real issue of concern. I think the bigger bang for the buck would be good design and components and a bigger CFM puller fan. I also hate under-driven V-belt pulleys so I am just a Type A psycho

I will watch this and see how others feel about the bang for the buck and how well they work good question
