Great write-up. Book making this for future reference.

 

I have 107k miles on my '07 - this thread makes me want to go check my water pump! I have also had a mystery puddle under the jeep but my coolant level has been good all along. I think I topped it off once a couple of months ago.

I will have to keep a closer eye out. My JK is getting to the point that some maintenance is necessary!

Did anyone change the timing belt? How do you know what tension to put back on it?

 

Did mine this weekend. This write up was very helpful. Thanks again for the great write up!

 

I'll be replacing my water pump & gasket this weekend.. -Let y'all know how the job turns out

My 08 JK's pump is still running strong @ 114K miles - IMO these are breaking way to soon

 

I am now on my second in 110k

 

I just replace my water pump at 37,000 under warranty.

 

Thank you for the thread! I will be replacing mine tomorrow morning!

 

Wow, I have 110,000 miles on my JKU, no leaking, puddles, or low on fluid. It is a daily driver and I wheel it. Now my gear box is leaking p/s fluid though. Have not found a good replacement yet.

 

Well I just finished replacing mine 20 minutes ago... Filled it and now letting it run for a bit... I'm chasing an over heating problem and I already replaced the bad fan motor and assembly, thermostat and radiator cap. Nothing was visibly wrong with my water pump but I figured it was cheap and there aren't that many parts that work with the cooling system... My fan runs full tilt CONSTANTLY and it over heats... Especially with the ac on... Hoping this helps but it's starting to get hot again...
