Just replaced mine,.... the water pump that is. The 12 year old came in very handy too. Its amazing where those little arms and hands can get into that an adults can't. He did great perched ontop of a 5 gallon bucket. Considering that this is the first time I've done it on this Jeep albeit the second one for this Jeep it was a real learning experience for the both of us. He had a ball helping his Dad while learning bundles. I also walked him through the diagnostic process since it was not leaking,... just making a heck of a racket that was hard to pinpoint. Lots of good life lessons.

That's cool he enjoys working on your rig. For some reason i never got a kick out of it when i was younger.

I used to luv working on stuff when I was a kid. Just too bad that it wasn't Jeep Stuff. My 4yo comes in great when I need some extra hands to hold tools and other things for me and he gets to learn which tool is which :)
