is there dif types of water pumps?
my mechanic posed a good Q.
are there water pumps that have the fins facing to other way making the water in the block try to flow the opp. way?
i have a 4.0L and the pump was installed before i bought it and he was not the best person to try to pick out a part.
if it said it would fit for a cheap price then he would us it regardless if it was the right type.
i know i have the belt on right via a diagram on google so i know its not that.
my mechanic said to look in to the radiator to make sure it is flowing right( it is a reman from the old owner as well), the thermostat was broke when taking it apart as the center was gone( spring, ect. ) and i dont know if it is in there or not.

should the chain need replacing soon if not now?
i am def going to check the pump.
