A while ago an article popped up on my Microsoft Edge Homepage that said that the generator and water pump should be changed every 100,000 miles to avoid damage to the engine and to the fuel system, is this true? I still have the original generator and the original water pump on this import vehicle while in the long ago past when I was driving domestic vehicles their water pumps sprang a leak and their generators were discharging long before reaching 100,000 miles, should I be replacing the generator and water pump every 100,000 miles as preventive maintenance? I say generator instead of alternator because the last time I posted here your mechanic Caradiodoc told me that Chrysler invented the AC generator in 1960 and called it an alternator and copyrighted the term alternator and when Ford and GM also adopted the alternator they still called it the generator to avoid copyright infringement and so I don't want to infringe on Chrysler's copyrighted term, than you very much for informing me about the necessity of this alleged maintenance.
