mkbruin Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Water pump took a dump. Factory replacements are $30 (YES!!!!!!) but I have heard the TJ pumps have a better flow/vane design. Will the TJ 4.0 pump bolt up to a renix 4.0? Or, am I better off sticking with factory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 there's really no problem with the factory pump, worked for 20 years now ;) but if you really want to upgrade, http://www.quadratec.com/products/51212_58.htm http://www.hesco.us/shop.asp?action=details&inventoryID=133254&catId=7969 costs a weensy bit more than 30$ but that combination will for sure get you better water flow and flowkooler claims 6hp gain from the better vane design on their pump :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkbruin Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 So... swapped out the radiator last week. Still leaked. Hoses were all good. So, looked closer and appeared to be a water pump gasket. Pump appeared to be ok, but figured since I was pulling it anyways I might as well swap it out for $30. Upon removal, determined that one of the lines from the pump was brittle and cracked, so that might be causing the leak... Stole the photo (not mine), but this is the part that was leaking (the tube): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
