Kerrychin,
I was wondering the same thing. I own a 2000 SVT and I have yet to hear of a 2000 SVT requiring a new water pump. The average mileage on a 2000 is about 30,000 miles so most 2000's probably do not have enough miles on them for a water pump to fail. Probably most of the 1999's have enough miles for a water pump to fail. I have heard that Ford upgraded the water pumps on the 2000 models but I am unsure of that. I really do not want to replace my water pump unless I that know for sure it needed to be replaced. I am really paying attention for the first 2000 water pump failure. I know some people have changed them out as preventative maintenance but I really do not want to do this unless I have to.
