The South Florida heat and me being in my 60s kicked my ass today. Got my busted radiator out. Got everything removed to replace the water pump, fan clutch, thermostat and belt. Just ran out of steam. Gotta go online and find a water pump tonight.
X2, aftermarket water pumps are hit or miss and most of the time a miss. They just don't last nearly as long as the OE Mopar water pump does.I recommend getting an oe water pump
I got mine from the dealer

Brother in Arms! Just finished mine in the Arizona heat. One thing I learned was to get the upper/lower hoses connected to the block before putting the shroud/radiator back in.
My hand took a beating.

Ouch ! I avoided the Busted Knuckles this round but I’m not done.
Yeah we're hearing lots of rumors that our favored Mopar radiators have been discontinued and are getting really hard to find. I think I need to look for one to keep as a spare.Ordering off one of the mopar sites OEM is the way to go. On that note I was told that the Mopar radiator was “discontinued” on June1,2022. Found one in Georgia last week.

Now you know enough to let someone else do it for you next time.
People here look at me like I have 3 heads when I wear shorts/skirt and a t-shirt in the middle of the "winter". "Aren't you COLD?" "This is a WARM day in California!" I see people all bundled up in heavy winter jackets, etc, etc...You should've waited until winter when temps dip into the "CHILLY" upper 50's. Last time I was in Marathon Key, people were wearing sweatshirts at night. It was in the low 60's. I asked WTF is wrong with you people and they dismissed me as being Northern. They said that because I was wearing a Virginia tank top. I never knew Va was a northern state, growing up in VT (Vermon,t not Virginia Tech).
