there is no way of telling until it breaks. I wouldnt drive it like that, just wait till you have time . I wouldnt want to be stranded over knowing something could happen.

it they have 3 options you are more than likely going to have to take it off and match it up. chevys are kind of like that they have a short and a long water pump. maybe the jeep is the same way.
