Gates manufactures each new pump with premium alloy materials and performs seal and bearing function testing along with leakage testing on the casting and assembled unit. This part cross-references Dayco DP1898 and GMB 120-4500 for the same application.

For Jeep Wrangler owners servicing overheating, coolant circulation loss, or pump leakage concerns, the Gates 44021 provides a direct-fit replacement built around the original application requirements. It is also a relevant search match for Jeep Wrangler JK water pump replacement and 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler engine water pump service.

Common Issues This Part May Address
