Sorry - off topic..
Did the defective pumps include service replacements? I replaced my WP back in 14 I think. I used a pump from Cummins - could I have a bad one?
very unlikely cummins would have sold you one of the faulty ones... its the same pump they have been using for a long time on their industrial engines... not sure how Dodge came to get a batch of faulty ones.
if you have replaced it on your dime, you can submit the reciept for the pump and cost of repair to chrysler for reimbursment...
when mine failed, it threw the belt, which wrapped around the fan and took out the wiring and fan control.... it was all replaced under "incidentals" due to a recall that was too slow in coming. because they didnt release the authorization for their dealers to do the recall until november 1st of 2017, and then it took a while for them to get the new waterpumps in to do the upgrade..
my waterpump failed the 2nd week in october of '17.. 2 weeks before the recall could have been done.
I purchased my replacement from cummins... it was correct.
My dealership said that when I get the recall notice, I should bring it in, as they STILL need to replace it under the recall to insure that it has been done correctly and with the right waterpump.. and I will get to keep the one they remove...
