Need a water pump for me TJ. "Made in USA"... does it exist?

Unread post by Carl McFly »

Won't bore you with my rant on Made in China garbage from AZ and Advance (but the kid at Advance did say something funny - "Auto Zone has even crappier parts than us")

Where can I get a good water pump for my TJ? You know, one that fits... one that doesn't use different size mounting hardware.... one that doesn't have threads that strip when the bolts aren't even snug enough to compress the lock washer.... :angry-cussingblack:

Heard that NAPA has good products and I'm even willing to go the the dealership :shock: if I have to. I just want my rig back in one piece

Thanks!

I've had good luck running a FlowKooler pump for the last 5 years, and I believe they're made in Cali. You should get it in 2 days if you order it from Quadratec.

I've always had good luck with GMB replacement pumps.
