No, the impeller was fine. It did'nt even need replacing, but I did it anyway. My system does need a good flushing though. do you think that JB weld will hold up to the water pressure on the housing? I had a buddy down the street spot weld, but there is still leakage. I just removed the whole pump off and there is a very small hole that we didnt even touch with the weld, hahahaha. It seems as if the only place I can find a new housing is through ford amd I'm sure that it would cost a pretty penny so I would like to avoid that route. I have a 1999 SVT contour which is nice when it's running, but I am sick of throwing money into the POS.
