Yeah, the noise doesn’t bother me… Nothing compared to ford explorers, tahoe’s, f150s, etc. i’ll take the loud noise and turn up the radio in turn for good performance. I think I am going to replace the water pump with a nice mopar one too while i’m in there, do you think that’s worth it? I want to do it all while i’m in there, as my jeep has 105k miles on it, don’t know what the previous owner did with the water pump.
