I didn’t empty one tank. But knocked a bunch off first and it saw some hose first too.

Ready to fix my radiator exposure once the seat dries out fully

My fix to put a Jeep TC pump on looks better with every failure on another truck.

Not that it’s been on for THAT long, but still twice the life of pumps on your truck

update, its not the pump this time (possibly).  the new pulley i put on last time is now a clearance fit to the shaft, and just spins and slides on....

i have like 3 XJ pumps laying around that may be an option.  i did notice the shaft sizes are different size when i grabbed one to see if a pully swap would fix it

I don't remember if I had to buy a pulley to run or if I had a Jeep one around. I modified the existing bracket to take the TC pump, was pretty easy. the plumbing and making a resi fit were the hard part.

no local white box show stock of both in same place, actually not much stock anywhere for pumps or pullies. 


dont feel like driving to Irondequoit tonight so amazon will bring both Thursday, cheaper, and no core. 


might grab a second pulley and see if my pump is hosed tomorrow, then just have spare stuff for the trailer.

new pulley pressed on hard and good, steering back to working.  the new pulley was .009" smaller diameter than the one that fell off. 


at the track it would have gotten welded to the pump haha

new tire grover came in today, grooved tire.  ready to load tomorrow as planned.
