Water pump problem

[Wrangl3r93]

Driving home from getting my check today the jeep started screeching. i drove the last 300 yards uphill to my apartment and noticed the temp gauge spike really fast and got out to antifreeze everywhere. Crawled under to see if I had lost a hose but it looks like it was all coming out of the waterpump. Guess I know where that check is going :x. Shouldn't be too hard of a fix i was just wondering if there were any upgrades since it has to be replaced anyways. I plan to go turbo here within the next year or so and better cooling is never a bad thing.

Any thoughts on this pump?

That's a good waterpump.. I'm using Flowkooler but i don't know if they make one for your engine..It's been holding up for 6 years now.

Buy new if you can afford it.Rebuilt pumps are only as good as the core and the guy doing the job.With all the overseas parts around stay with the the USA...

I went ahead and ordered the GMB pump. After a little research I found they're based out of Japan but I'm not going to lose any sleep over not buying American. Looked into the FlowKooler pumps but they're twice as much as the GMB, which was twice as much as the Autozone replacement, and I can only justify so much on my college budget. Had to dip into my Aussie fund so hopefully I can manage to salvage some of it.
