A leaking water pump can quickly damage the otherwise very reliable Jeep Cherokee Engine. The water pump can be changed by a home mechanic with some patience and ordinary hand tools.

When the Jeep Cherokee water pump seal fails, it will leak from the weep hole in the bottom of the pump. Since this hole is behind the pulley, it is often hard to see where the fluid is coming from. Often a water pump leak will be misdiagnosed as a leaking hose as the fluid runs down and drips off the bottom of the hose.

Begin by letting the Jeep cool. Remove the radiator cap and make sure there is no pressure in the system.

Remove the electric fan. It unbolts from the header at the top and the bottom sits in two tabs at the bottom of the radiator.

Place a pan under the Jeep to catch the anti freeze and remove the lower radiator hose. Let the system drain. Next, remove the heater hose from the tube attached to the water pump. Be careful with the tube as you will have to reuse it.

Break loose the four bolts that hold the pulley to the water pump but do not remove them. If the tension on the belt does not hold the pulley from turning, use a square section screwdriver between two bolts to hold it while breaking loose each bolt.

Remove the tension of the belt at the power steering pump. On the earlier versions, the whole power steering pump moves. On later ones, there is a separate adjuster pulley. Move the belt out of the way.

Finish removing the bolts and remove the pulley. Now you can access the four pump mounting bolts. These have half inch heads, not 13mm and one bolt is longer than the others.

Remove the two bolts that hold the power steering pump bracket. These are 15mm on some and 9/16 on others.

Now pry the pump away from the block. If this is an original water pump, there will be a pry tab on the top of the pump by the metal pipe. Many aftermarket pumps do not have this pry tab.

Twist the pump out from under the power steering pump bracket and carefully remove it from the Jeep. Place the pump in a vise and remove the metal pipe noting its orientation.

Put some thread sealer on the threads and install the pipe in the new water pump. Turn it until it is aligned the same as the old one was. It should stick straight back from the impeller.

Use some sticky gasket sealer like permatex to hold the gasket on the water pump. Clean the front surface of the block down to bare metal. This is probably the most time consuming part of the whole job. Use a scraper and some chemical gasket remover if needed. The block is cast iron, so you can be aggressive when scraping.

Twist the new pump into place under the power steering pump bracket and seat it into place. Install the four mounting bolts that secure it to the block. Tighten them evenly.

Install the two bolts that hold the pump to the power steering bracket. Install the pulley using a screwdriver to hold the bolts while you tighten them. Make sure the pulley seats squarely on the flange and does not wobble when you spin it round.

Install the belt and set it to the proper tension. Reinstall the lower radiator hose and tighten the clamp. Leave the upper hose off for the moment.

Fill the system with a mixture of antifreeze and water appropriate for your climate. I use 50/50. Fill until the fluid comes out the heater hose or the metal line. Reinstall the hose and continue to fill the system. Most Jeeps hold about two gallons when the water pump is removed.

Check for leaks and then install the electric fan. Tilt it into place and engage the lower tabs. Then install the two bots at the top. Connect the control wire.

Start the engine and check the belt tension and check for leaks. Recheck the coolant level after the engine has been heat cycled.

Inexpensive Lift Kits? Prepare to Suspend Your Disbelief!

When something seems too good to be true, it usually isn't. Remember that amazing deal on the Brooklyn Bridge? But, that's not the case with lift kits. Whether you're looking to compensate for those larger tires or just want a little extra lift to position yourself above the herd, inexpensive lift kits are affordable and easy to install yourself. Suspend your disbelief and prepare to be amazed!

Lift kits come in two formats: a body lift kit and a suspension lift kit. As its name implies, a body lift kit raises a vehicle's body, but the stock suspension system remains the same height. On the other hand, a suspension lift kit raises the actual height of the stock suspension component, which also raises the body of the rig.

Though somewhat time-consuming, installing a lift kit is a fairly simple process. Unlike older lift kits, current models like the Jeep Wrangler lift kit, Suburban lift kit and Sierra lift kit, are custom-configured to each make, model and year. Plus, many lift kits are engineered to bolt directly onto your stock suspension without any modification—no welding, chopping or fabricating required. Even if you're not brave enough to take on the job yourself, you can still save a ton of money by buying the parts separately and paying for the labor at a local shop.

But, for those who are brave enough, here's a general overview of the process.

Begin by elevating the vehicle with a trolley jack or lift unit so all four wheels are off the ground. After removing the wheels, you can disconnect the sway bar, tie rods and the control arm. After that, carefully remove each shock, strut and coil from the wheels.

Next, make note of the amount of space between the strut top plate and the bottom of each shock. You can then use a spring compressor to compress each spring and remove each rubber unit of the shock array components. Once the rubber components are removed, new lift kit rubber elements and plates can be mounted in their place.

After new plates and rubber shock units are reinstalled and bolted on tight, attach each shock by adhering to the measurements previously noted. The skid plates can now be removed and the bolts and fasteners holding up the differential are taken out. Doing so allows for the spacers, which are mounted between the differential and cross supports.

When the spacing units are mounted correctly in place, the skid plates are reconnected and the shock absorbers are aligned, the job is complete and the vehicle should be lifted according to the specifications of the kit.

When you modify the height of your vehicle, pay close attention to your suspension system. The suspension in your car or truck supports the weight of the vehicle, its passengers and cargo. Lift kits, like the Silverado lift kit or Ford F150 lift kits, raise your vehicle higher off its center of gravity, increasing the amount of effort the suspension has to put out. So, be prepared to add performance-grade suspension components to avoid excessive body squat and dive while accelerating or braking, keeping your suspension performing safely and at its peak.

Does GM obtain master fasteners/bolt kits, or do they have an authorized dealer how manufactures them?

I recently bought a 1969 Firebird 350 Coupe and I am looking to do a frame off restoration. The car is missing a huge amount of fasteners/bolts and I am looking to replace every single one from the chassis, engine compartment, interior (dashboard, seats, brakes, gas, exterior, EVERYTHING with new ones. I am looking for a master kit with everything an have yet to find a manufacturer. Any links would be awesome.
