If it wasn't such a long drive... lol
It's not that bad of a job. just make sure you clean up the mounting surface on the block before putting the new pump back on. Another tip, lay the new pump down with the side that meets the block down, as you remove bolts place them in the new pump so you don't forget where they go. then when you remove old pump, just transfer the bolts to it.

just remember, make sure the thermostat does in the proper way AND clean the hell out of the surface before putting your new one on, so that it seals properly and you wont have to re do it.

ok guys be very proud! i started yesterday on the job! however i didnt come look at this first so once again i took no pics! i might however take pics starting where i am with the assembly process! i have an issue though! i got everything off and got the return hose on the new pump but forgot what bolts go where and aint think to mark them! so yes I AM THE TARD, however im learning and its a very fun experience cause im learning alot about engines, befroe this i only knew basic engin stuff and only how to do customizations and im car electronic certified for video and audio! so be proud fellow jeepers, be proud! and as the above was stated, "if i can do it, anyone can"
just wanted to update everyone who might have cared...after i installed the new pump which was for the V6 i pulled it off went and got the right one and smooth sailing thank god allowed me to complete the first real engine work i've ever done in my life next to doing plugs and wires!

good job man, I just did a timing chain change on the dodge by myself a few weeks ago, very in depth project and it took me about 2 hours to get all the accessories on the front of the motor because I had to figure it out on my own.
