For the first time since i bought my cherokee a month ago, i was able to drive it to work and nothing broke!!!

I know this may not be a big deal to anyone else but just had to share lol

seems all it needed was a new water pump, serpentine belt, thermostat, fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter, vaccum/pcv assembly, fluid flush and a little tlc xD

now i can start working on the steering issues! woooo

 

She's just lulling you into a false sense of security.

 

shhhhh dont say that, its bad enough i dont have a stereo in it atm so i hear every little noise lol

noticed a leak after installing all the water pump...its coming from the t-stat housing but not any of the seals....so ill probably have to replace that soon but for now it seals itself after it warms up and its a very slow leak when cold so its fine for now. (got a 50/50 mix in a water bottle in the trunk for emergencies ;] )

 

 

Be sure to verify if it's the gasket leaking or there's a crack in the T-stat housing itself.

 

its the housing, coolant drips down onto the casket area from just under the top hose. not the hose though i already checked that, its in the area when the t-stat housing recesses like an inch above the bottom

 

its not funny lol im trying to put a stereo in to drown everything out but me and electricity dont get along and matching up the wiring diagrams from my pioneer hu with the jeeps older cluster is a pain.
