Gates 42004 Premium Engine Water Pump

Exact fit. Easy installation. Great Price before the tarrifs, (now it is $10.00 more). I am a formerly ASE Certified Master Tech but I'm old and fat and I still got it done in 1.5 hours. Look at your heater hose tube and think about replacing it as well.

Appears to be at least a well made as the OEM and installation was relatively straight forward. My Jeep now runs at a very steady temperature. I guess we'll see about longevity but I have no reason to think it won't last

Great buy, name brand for under $20?? This went on a '01 Cherokee 4.0L. I also bought a new Dorman 56398 inlet tube to make it a quicker install in the parking lot. Worked just great, about a 2 hour evolution, part fits like new works great no problems. Also bought thermostat housing, stat, etc, but bolt felt like it was going to snap on removal so I left the old stuff in place. The swap without removing the stat housing is possible but it would be better to take the stat housing off if you can. The housing will impede your ability to get a clear view of the gasket surface which needs to be clean for a leak free job. Pump came with paper gasket, I used permatex to make sure we had no leaks. Housing bolts come out easy. As a suggestion - before you loosen the accessory belt, take the water pump pulley bolts off. That way the accessory belt will help hold the pump from spinning. Also, if you put a wrench on an adjacent bolt as well, you can use that extra leverage to keep the pump from spinning. Otherwise it's tough to get the pulley bolts off. Same on the install, tighten those after you have the accessory belt in place and tight.

the best value for money. it's has been less than a month since I installed it but it's already hot (50°C) where I live and no leaks. Same installation as the original. A paper gaskit is included but I wouldn't trust it so add to it coolant rtv. the surface is well machined so you'll only need to clean the block surface.

This part was definitely cheaper here than part store. Fit great.

Good price.

So I got out to the car the other day and there was a small puddle under the engine... Reaching under and taking a little sample, too clean to be oil and no smell. It must be coolant. Start the engine up and the coolant was trickling down from where the hose meets the pump. Well, it's either the hose or the pump, they are both pretty old. Just replace them both then since the hose has got to come off anyway. The BOSCH I used before is no longer in production so I thought I'd give this a try. The pump came with paper gasket and 4 studs (which I didn't need). Slop some INDIAN HEAD gasket shellac (AKA Permatex Aviation Form A Gasket) and both side of the paper gaskets then bolt it on. All good.

Se ve de muy buena calidad y me a funcionado perfecto estos dos meses desde que lo compre

Buena calidad y material, ojalá que dure un tiempo, la instalación no es tan complicada siempre y cuando se tenga algo de experiencia en la mecánica.

Me ha servido bastante bien.
