water pump

Hey everyone, Here’s another TJ forum post about overheating at idle bear with me here. I’ve done research on what could be causing an overheating issue at idle and can’t quite narrow down what the issue is. Some Context: My Jeep when driving in stop-go traffic will slowly creep up in...

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...

Hey everyone, 88,000 mile 2006 TJ. Today when I got to work all gauges were normal and jeep was running fine. I shut the engine off and got out and heard dripping and steaming and saw white steam coming out of hood. So I opened it up and saw coolant had wet the bottom half of my engine bay...

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...

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)

i just changed the water pump and thermostat and everything on my 01 2.5 jeep tj… and we got everything on and as we filled it coolant started spilling everywhere out the bottom (the same way before we changed the pump) does anyone know what the source could be?

Hi, I have a ‘97 TJ Sahara with power steering and AC. I recently had my water pump replaced and a few days later my serpentine belt snapped. I bought a Continental Serpentine Belt from AutoZone (Part Number 4060910) and after spending over an hour was unable to get it around all the...

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...

Help my 2004 Jeep TJ 4.0l. No leaks from pump. Hoses are warm/hot to touch when running. Fan is in good condition and operates as it should. Replaced —> thermostat, coolant (flush and cleanse) Problem was resolved for 2 months. Took it on the highway (65mph) and overheats. Just around town it...

Hello all, this is my first post on the forums. I searched the threads but did not find something specific so here I go: It's starting to feel like summer and I wanted to fix the A/C, though that it needed some freon recharge but when I took it to the shop they measured and told me the reason...

Hey, has anyone had the cooling system replaced by a shop? I'm going to ask for an estimate and wondering what kind of price to expect. I'm talking about replacing radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, and a complete coolant flush. Plus whatever else I might not know about that should be...

Hello, I have a 2005 TJ Unlimited with Auto Transmission and clutch fan. Coolant thermostat has been removed for long (I live in hot climate). Recently it started to heat up. What happens is that everything is fine when cold, but I drive it about 10-15 miles with AC on plus it stays idle for...

Not that I really need a heater now but mine is Luke warm. Good flow with both hoses hot and blend door is closing what am I missing? Do a reverse flush? 98 TJ Sport.

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.

This thread should guide you through replacing the water pump and thermostat (optional) on your Jeep Wrangler TJ. Before reading this thread, please take a look at this thread as well, since it's very informative: Jeep Wrangler TJ Cooling System Overhaul FAQ Hardware Needed: You can also find...

Anyone tried one of these high flow water pumps? http://www.quadratec.com/products/51212_58.htm I'm curious to know if anyone has one and if they noticed any difference in cooling.
