Thanks for the reply Moses, The re-routing of the belt would be necessary if I install the electric water pump as there would no longer be a pulley at that location. As for OE mechanical pumps, only Mopar makes them at this point for the 3.6L Pentastar. I am unsure if the issue is actual bearing related, several guys in my jeep club have brought theirs in with the squeaking and the dealer replaced it. It is a known issue with this motor. My question is can this be avoided in the future by switching to an electrical water pump, and would this be a superior option to the belt driven mechanical pump? And, is it worth the effort to undertake this modification as opposed to replacing it with the OE pump. Thanks again. Nate

Alberto, most likely you have a D35 in your yj. You could confidently use mobile1 75w90 with lsd additive. It should take about 3.5 pints, the dana 30 would take 2.5 pints

Moses, I have a 2013 Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited. I off-road it quite a bit. It is lifted 4" all suspension including shock mounting, sway bars etc have been replaced/ re-worked, it is running on 37" tires, new driveshaft etc. I am running into the well documented issue of the water pump beginning to squeak and squeal. I am interested in swapping the stock pump out for a digital thermally controlled electric 115 LPM water pump from Davies Craig. Two questions: is this a reasonable alternative to replacing the stock pump for a daily driven off road vehicle, and how do I go about re-routing the serpentine belt?

Moses, I've done no less than 15 full suspension lifts on Jeep Wranglers. At this point I pretty much have it down to a science. Including alignment, shocks, springs, control arms, sway bar links, track bars, track bar brackets,spring correction wedges and bump stops and extended brake lines. If I'm doing the entire job solo it requires approximately 8-10 hours. With an extra well experienced hand we can trim 1-2 hours off that time. Hope this helps Nate
