Doesn't sound terrible but I'm not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination. I know it could be done a lot cheaper then that if you did it yourself and got the parts from rock auto or something but that's also take time and tools. So if u have the money why not pay someone to do it! Love to see some more pics of ur jeep though! People might wonder why I drive mine too, it's an 88 with 200+k miles on it and constantly has something that needs work but it's a jeep thing!

So hey guys need some help if possible. Tracked down the coolant leak and it's coming from the water pump. Went to order a new water pump but 2 types are coming up. One with a 3.72" hub and one with 2.31" hub height. Which do I need or how do I check to see?

I just got done paying a mechanic $1500 to overhaul my cooling system.
-New water pump
-New radiator & cap
-New Thermostat, Thermostat housing, and heater pipe
-Rusted heater pipe water pump
-Ran coolant cleaner through the system to get the gunk out
and then new AC condenser while i had him there because the previous owner hit something and bent the front bumper frame inward so that it was touching the condenser. I don't think it really needed to be replaced but the thing's a 98 and it's got 150k miles. why not? They fixed the bumper anyhow so it's win win.
Do you think $730 parts/$650 in labor is decent? The guy working on it is nice but I think he's surprised I drive this thing.

Luckily I have parts stores that are WAY cheaper than Napa, autozone, advance...
cooling parts can be had for under $200 depending where you shop...
Not sure about a/c condenser though....
Mechanics labor are always tricky...if they are going by the book it can get real steep fast!
Glad to see you've stuck around...
Your on rock auto? Check out your local parts store and ask for a part# and reference off those #s through the rockauto parts catalog....
