The return line fitting just broke off my reservoir while replacing the hoses (looks like it was cracked anyway). It's a '94 4.0. Can I replace just the reservoir or do I have to replace the pump too? It has 155,000 miles on it and it looks like the original pump. I was thinking that maybe I should replace the pump anyway with that kind of milage on it. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks in advance!:wave1:

My 96 just did the same thing this weekend. JB Weld = no more leaks.

Yeah you can replace just the reservoir. Go to the junkyard and pull one off any cherokee. TJ's look the same but are a little different, I think. It's a common mistake. The hose never wants to come off and the plastic reservoir gives first.

Thanks. Haven't found a new one and thought I'd have to make a trip to the local yard. Really didn't want to replace the whole pump if I didn't have to unless I up-graded to something like this:

May-be I'll check one out while I'm there!

Well a 93 fits on a 99, I believe all non renix will swap out.
