Water pump went out on a 6.7 Powerstroke near Flagstaff last Tuesday

Was hauling a 12k trailer through the mountains and heard the belt start chirping. Pulled over at a Love's in Flagstaff and the water pump was leaking coolant from the weep hole bad. Took 4 hours to swap it in the parking lot with basic tools, definitely gonna keep a spare pump and thermostat in my truck now. Anyone else carry backup parts for their work truck?

Always carry a spare belt and tensioner too on those trips.

Better bring the whole parts store at that point like @samf95 is suggesting...
