Agree. My '01 Tahoe with 5.3 ate the seal in the water pump (at 240K miles). I happened in late July coming home from my parents house 200 miles away. We got home around 1:00AM. It was dark, but air temps in the high 80s so A/C on. I never realized anything was wrong until I got home and saw it was dripping. The temp gauge never went higher than usual. It was about 2 gallons low the next morning.
