    Is an OEM water pump worth the price?

    First road trip in our '06 L6 6-spd last week. It ran at 210 most of the time, but started creeping up a little bit if we went over 55mph. It never got anywhere near the red, just a little past 210. But... it blew out coolant twice. Both times we had been going 70mph and it was 95° outside...

    2.4 L Coolant System 'Gurggling"

    Hello! Yesterday my TJ started leaking like crazy, what I thought was oil. I get under her and start ripping stuff apart to find out it was coolant mixing with road grim to look like oil. Eventually I take it apart and the waterpump seal went, so I just replaced the whole water pump. The leak...

    1997 TJ making strange squeak sound

    Hey, Recently my grandfather gave me his old jeep (1997, 4.0L, I6,60,000miles 5speed manual) and it was left untouched for about 10-13 years. The jeep he gave me has started making a squeaking sound and after some research I THINK that it has something to do with the water pump system, either...

    Water pump questions

    Two questions: 1) Should I use a gasket sealant or just the gasket for the pump and thermostat housings? 2) What should the bolts be torqued to? Thanks, Jim (installing Mopar water pump now)

    Leak from either water pump or thermostat housing

    Wondering if someone can help me. I noticed the other day after driving the car a flood of coolant leaking from the front of the block. I can’t quite see where is is coming from. I initially thought it might have been the water pump, but there is no play in the bearing and it stopped leaking...

    how many miles is the factory water pump good for?

    Question, and I'm guessing it's been asked about 10,000 times on here. About how many miles is the factory water pump good for? 99, 4.0, 5spd, 160,000 miles. When it's time to do the water pump, is like older mopars, check and change the timing components.
