I had this same problem and after about 3 months(really just before winter/cold weather) I got it replaced. YAY for 4x4.


Yesterday I did the water pump gasket.....and now it leaks again! I've only had hell on Jeep water pumps. Any suggestions? The guy at checkers suggested using Permatex #2 with the gasket and it has only SLIGHTLY increased the life of this gasket. I need something cuz I'm tired of changing the gasket. Although it is easier than an oil pan gasket that's for sure.

Next project is to repair my back up lights. 2 6" knock off brand lights have finally given up the fight, but for $10 you can't beat it.
