How many miles should expect on a water pump?

Wondering how many miles folks are getting on their water pumps. I got 164K on original and wondering should I replace it for preventive maintenance or let it be?

A/C, filter, low output

I got really tired of the low air output of the a/c. So I removed the filter. Now getting about 2X the airflow. Much cooler. Anyone else done this or had dissatisfaction with the a/c? Other than that satisfied with the Vibe.

Aside from changing the transmission/transaxle fluid what other maintenance needs to be done? The 2WD Vibe doesnt appear to have a differential. Do the front, back or both wheels have wheel bearings that need to be repacked? P.S. There is a "black box" close the left rear wheel, I have no ...

2003 Vibe What Viscosity should I use in Synthetic Oil ?

The book says 5-30 which I'm assuming they are reffering to dino juice. Seems most of what was on the shelf at the local parts store was 0-30. Should I look for a synthetic 5-30 or is the 0-30 just fine?

Re: MAT/COVER folded rear seats and cargo area. (Raven)

That might work as well. Rear seats will be kept down, so this and additional mat to cover the rest of the cargo/rear seat area in combination could work.

MAT/COVER folded rear seats and cargo area.

I'm going to do a lot of hauling with work tools and dog kennels. The rear seats will be folded down 99% of the time and looking for a mat of some kind, waterproof, that will cover the entire cargo area with the rear seats folded down.
