mjeff87 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 yesterday, completely without warning fuel pump finally went :cry: had to crawl it with the starter to get it in a safe place (thank God for manual trannies and a yellow top) picked up the only 2.5 pump in stock last night at an Advance Auto about 25 miles away and am heading to do a parking-lot replacement this afternoon, yay me Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisty Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Best of luck Jeff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Good luck. I've had to do an alternator in a Pep Boys parking lot 3 hours from home, which is where I had the tow truck drop me off at 8:30 pm with borrowed tools, as well as a thermostat in an Autozone Parking lot 9 hours from home. never fun, always an adventure.

mjeff87 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 It lives..... ;) the ONLY other time it ever died was the alternator, a couple years ago about 50 miles from home.....did the roadside repair in a reststop on I85 I guess I can't really complain tho, almost 190K on the original fuel pump. I just don't like my junk breaking down :oops: Now the @$^*&! TJ is throwing a CEL..........when it rains, it pours, I suppose. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Hey Jeff, if all our junk worked 100% perfectly 100% of the time, owning Jeeps would be pretty boring and we'd all know nothing about fixing them. Might as well get a damn Honda or something. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Glad to hear you got it fixed!!! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 well, I guess it's all good. I was planning to swap pumps when the 4.0 went in anyway.....it just sucked yesterday in a parking lot, laying on a tarp in a rainstorm. But, it's one more thing crossed off the list. I prefer my junk to break down on MY schedule, not it's own :razz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
