I'm a bit lost on this one and need to spring board off you guys...
A buddy and I installed a 1" motor mount lift on the 05 LJ in preparation for installation of the Savvy skid system and forgot to unbolt the fan shroud . That little mistake caused the radiator to leak out of the bottom seal (without a doubt).
So we just replaced the radiator. No problem there. Also planned on replacing the water pump but after messing with the fan clutch without success we decided to call it a day and worry about that later since it wasn't the issue anyway. Put the new radiator in, started driving, then all of the sudden the Jeep's overheating and coolant is POURING out from under the engine.
Thought at first that perhaps we did loosen the fan clutch but the leak is behind the pulley, not the fan clutch. All signs point to the water pump, but how did it ALL THE SUDDEN become the issue? And this bad?
Would messing with the fan clutch destroy a seal/gasket on the water pump assembly?
Can't seem to win with this Jeep.
