Did you go OEM or find one like the BPD with aluminum blades. Diesesite offers one with metal blades as well.

Just to comment on my own comment but from what I've gleaned from the diesel forums is that the 05-up had an upgraded water pump compared to the early 6.0. Apparently the early 6.0 had all the water pump failures.
I like the looks of the BPD unit but it appears to flow the same as stock, just that it has a metal impeller instead of plastic. The updated Ford water pump may be more than sufficient.
You never really said what you ended up installing. OEM or aftermarket?
