replace it. The part that sucks is the water pump is mounted behind the timing belt on a 3.0. Might has well do the timing belt, thermostat, hoses and pump while you are in there

Downside to replacing it... I just replaced the timing belt and idler pulley and tensioner and had it timed and put back together 😪 So in other words my luck has Sh** on me again😂.

Didnt have an issue with the water pump untill now, thats why it wasnt replaced. If its not broke dont fix it had a factor in there also.
