New Engine Water Pump from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1AEWP00046
This video shows you how to install a TRQ water pump in your 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler. The water pump keeps coolant flowing through your engine. Common failures of the water pump will leave the coolant leaking, or stagnant. Both will lead to overheating if left untreated. Install a new engineered to fit water pump from TRQ for total peace of mind.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1997 Jeep Wrangler
1998 Jeep Wrangler
1999 Jeep Wrangler
2000 Jeep Wrangler
2001 Jeep Wrangler
2002 Jeep Wrangler
2003 Jeep Wrangler
2004 Jeep Wrangler
2005 Jeep Wrangler
2006 Jeep Wrangler

This video gave me the confidence I need it to tackle this job. Just waiting on parts now. Thank you.

Great tutorial

[@kevinmacdougal8725]

This was very helpful, thank you for your time and expertise. One note, I replaced my Radiator at the same time as the water pump and Thermostat on my 2001 2.5L. Much bigger fan housing. Hint. If you separate the housing from the radiator and push it toward the engine over the fan, you can get to the 6 bolts that hold in the radiator in place. (auto transmission will have cooling lines going to the lower reservoir of the radiator that will need to be removed.) You can lift the radiator out and then remove the large fan housing. Before you loosen the the serpentine belt, You will have great access to remove the fan bolts and studs with resistance from the belt, so you don't need to do this on a table vice. :) Hope this helps.

How did you miracle the fan clutch off? Either I mix something or mines completely different. This is the third different one I found. How many different ones are there all from 1997 to 2006?

[@PonyRyd]

Just a heads up, on my 2006 Rubicon the fan actually screwed onto the water pump and I needed a Fan Clutch Holder tool to remove the fan and shroud.

You do not put gasket sealant on the gasket?

[@midwestmutineer7675]

I always thought you were supposed to replace the pulleys and tensioners along with the belts with this job?
