Ric,

Yes.. The duratec 2.5 is plagued with a common overheating caused by waterpump impellar failure. The plastic impellar seems to disentegrate over time, finally severing completely off, causing no coolant flow. Upon removal of the WP, it is QUITE common, if not ALWAYS, to find an impellar either missing, in ash-size pieces, or in larger pieces (5th's)

Replacement of the pump is the smart move.. Look into heat related damage, depending on how long your son drove afterwards..



Ray..
