Well the underside of the Jeeps water pump is wet and it is coolant so it's time to replace it. I am moving in a month and I don't have $131 for a factory pump. Is Gates a quality brand or should I look somewhere else?? Thanks guys!
MarkM66 Why would gates make and put an inferior belt/hoses in the stores vs. OE? Considering their name is all over it said:They make aftermarket cheaper so they can stay in business. Just because aftermarket is made to a lesser spec than OE doesn't mean it is inferior to the extent Gates (or any other parts manufacturer)is risking their reputation. OE parts have to withstand new car warranties which are getting ridiculously good, eg 10 years/100k miles. Most aftermarket parts have to last a year or so.
