Earlier in the year, our 1997 Jeep XJ Cherokee developed a coolant leak that was small enough to ignore for a while but over time, it grew to the point that I knew it needed to be addressed. Hoping that it was just a loose lower hose clamp or cracked hose, I started there but as luck would have it, everything was tight and the hose was in good enough condition to not be the source of the leak. Needless to say, the coolant was most likely oozing out of the water pump weep hole and that meant it was time for it to be replaced. Fortunately, a Jeep 4.0L water pump is a common part, can be found at just about any autoparts store and for cheap. And, since I was going to have to pull a lot other parts to get to it, I decided to use the opportunity to replace the thermostat and fan clutch at the same time too. If you're in need of replacing your XJ's water pump, this step by step write-up should be able to help you out.
