I know it doesn't have bearings, but I've changed the belt, and the same groove that was worn in my old one returned to my new belt, with the squeak which had stopped for a day or so with the new belt. I'm wondering if that pulley could cause such a crazy loud noise first of all...and second, when I look for this part, it keeps returning this crown "fan pulley" (53010309) which is said to mount on the water pump. But the actual mopar water pump pulley(53002907) that i found looks to have a larger center opening. I want to know if the crown pulley is the same; or if it'll work.

Yes leaving the battery out for a while should dump the codes. The TPS internals getting wet is the real problem - it'll take a few days to dry out at a good temperature. If you've got a heat gun or hair dryer you could give that a shot.



Use your accessories, sensors, flywheel/flex plate and manifolds. You'll need to plug the hole in the back of head where the old temperature sending unit lived otherwise it'll shoot coolant everywhere

That groove is troublesome, find the source and fix it. If you think its the water pump then replace the water pump. Its all one unit thats not worth servicing.

Oil pressure guage reads 0 or really low and the CEL and Check Gauges comes on. The Jeep runs fine and seems like it's getting oil just fine.

What's the sensor that needs replacing?
