Review on ๐Ÿ’ง Omix-Ada 17104.20 Water Pump: Superior Quality for Enhanced Water Circulation by Daniel Ton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Economical replacement OEM

UPDATE: Two years later and still valid. Although the fit and finish isn't OEM, I'm upgrading it to five stars. This fits my 03 Wrangler TJ as advertised and the installation was the same as the OEM pump. The gasket that came with it was cardboard, not a silicone bead like the OEM or Fel-Pro, but I applied a thin coat of blue RTV to the side of the water pump and sealed it tight. I give 4 stars because the overall quality is not that good compared to the OEM pump; Machining is rough, a few burrs were missing from the tip of a pair of impeller blades and a small piece was missing, which will affect performance a bit. But as they say, it circulates the coolant and keeps my temps in the same range as the original pump at half the price, so I'm happy. Mine has been running for a month now with no issues, but the questionable build quality makes me suspect it won't last the 10+ years of the original.
