Had to order a new gasket seperately.
$8 for the gasket and about $160 for the pump.
I daren't tell you how much the serpentine and pulleys cost.
But hey..... This is rip off Britain lol.

Yeah it will. Especially as they're MOPAR OEM parts and not knock offs.
I just hope there's nothing else wrong when I replace the pump.
The leak from spilling down onto the crank pulley was significant.
But I guess it would be infer hot pressure and all.
Just hope pumps fail in this manner???

Well yes.
Even though my Dodge is a rareish vehicle over here in the UK and parts are hard to come by....it's still so expensive for most things over here unfortunately.
Just look at the cost of our fuel over here. Like $10 or very near to it a gallon.
