Default water pump

hey everyone...gotta tell you what happened to me last night...on the freeway during the start of rush hour...driving along a 70 mph and my truck decided it just didn't want to run anymore...so i coasted to the berm...waited an hour or so for tow truck to come and get me. Well I work for a chrysler dealership...had it towed there took a look at it this morning and low and be hold the pressed on water pump pulley and snapped all away around the weld...well when that happened it got into a bind and caused my timing chain to skip...jump...you get the picture...so i spent all day removing everything...just a fluke that the timing chain went south but i guess the point i am getting at if you ever have to replace your waterpump get the one that has a bolt on pulley...i will try to get some pics of the old pump...but the pulley totally destroyed everything...so word to the wise...get the bolt on pulley not the pressed on....

take care guys
todd
