So I go out to my truck for lunch and as I pull away I notice that the snow under it looks a little yellow.

I get to where I'm going and look under my truck to see it POURING fluid out the bottom. Me being in a fancy shirt and tie, working on my truck... So now i get to replace the water pump tonight... Anyone ever done it on a 3.9? Just wondering how big of a job it is...

Maybe it was just trying to write its name in the snow? :ha:

I was hoping that's all it was :hehe:

Sam has my youngest convinced that all jeeps pee. Maybe trucks do to?

[Beefy]

... Seriously ... anyone ever do one?

move the a/c and alternator brackets out of the way, and it's easy. I'd recommend getting a timing set and the updated timing tensioner if you haven't replaced them and are over 100,000 miles.

Make sure you save your old belt for a trail spare.
