:toilet: Is anyone else out there with a Renegade kit having as much trouble as I am keeping their water pump from grenading? I have gone through 2 in 2000
miles- the impeller just folds over on its self. Thanks in advance for any input. |

Something else I recalled from previous conversations with Andy Leaney:
He used to have his water pumps made for him, but they where based on the big block Chrysler (we all know this by now)...I asked him why.. He said the impellers on the rebuilt/new ones where not always located on the shaft straight. The distance from pump housing to end of shaft and where the impeller was located was not always the same. The ones he had made where all basically blueprinted to his water pump housings. Now if you purchase a cheesy aftermarket pump from your local Auto Parts store they may not work correctly in the Renegdae or Simpson housing. I would at least start with the Mopar aftermarket pump that Summit sells (the aluminum one) Let me know if that doesnt make sense. I'll do a drawing of the dimensions. B |
