Re: 1988 cherokee auto 4x4 straight 6 new water pump

Hello,

Thank you for your response. Apparently, the noise is not coming from my steering power box, however, I read a post on how tight should my serpentine belt be . . . could mine be to tight then? What I did was measure where my old belt was when I took it off and when I replaced it I put it where the old one was measuring with the first knuckle of my index finger (below the steering power box).

Is there a proper way to measure how tight the belt should be . . . my Jeep runs and it does not overheat from the drives I have taken it on (close to my home) not a lengthy drive. I feel I managed to take the air out of my coolant system. From what I have read it takes three times to do this by letting the system heat up then turning the engine off and the antifreeze sucks itself into the engine and then refill. As I mentioned it does not seem to overheat.

If you have anymore suggestion regarding, the grind I hear I would appreciate hearing from you.

Peace, Jewel
