So my old trusty 98 Grand Cherokee 4.0L has been running a little warmer than normal as of late, I figure- 200k and almost 21 years of service and me mainly doing nothing but turning the key and fueling it - It doesn't owe me much ;)
I knew the radiator had a leak , being a plastic tank and nasty coolant- a new radiator was in order at min. but I figured at this mileage , it owes me nothing, why not go ahead and do the hoses/tstat/ and waterpump while I had it apart- they where original and I figured overdue. I have driven a commercial take home van for 8+ years , so the Jeep just fills the gaps for short errands and gets neglected so it was time to be nice to the one and only brand new car I will ever drive off a lot. :rolleyes:
At any rate, thought you guys might get a laugh out of the w/pump - It paid for itself once or twice :eek:
