Stop coolant seepage where the water pump meets the block with the FEL-PRO water pump gasket 35629, an application-specific seal built for real-world repairs. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2002 Dodge Dakota, 1994-2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1994-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1997-2006 Jeep TJ, and Jeep Wrangler (1994-1995 and 1997-2006) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Engineered for imperfect surfaces: designed to seal reliably even on troublesome, less-than-perfect mating faces found in the repair environment.
Proprietary sealing materials: manufactured with Fel-Pro's own materials for a dependable coolant seal between the water pump and engine.
Application-specific design: shaped for this job and validated for fit, form, and function.
Meets or exceeds OE specs: made to original-equipment sealing standards you can trust.
The water pump gasket seals the joint between the pump and the engine so coolant stays in its passages. Hardened, cracked, or weeping gaskets show up as coolant drips at the pump, crusty residue, or a low-coolant condition. If a failed gasket is the cause, this replaces it — always fit a fresh gasket whenever the water pump is removed.

What does a water pump gasket do?
It seals the joint between the water pump and the engine so coolant stays contained in its passages and doesn't leak at the pump mounting surface.
What are signs this gasket may need replacing?
Coolant dripping or weeping at the water pump, crusty residue around the pump flange, or a recurring low-coolant condition can point to a failed gasket.
Should I replace the gasket when changing the water pump?
Yes. It's best practice to install a fresh gasket whenever the water pump is removed to ensure a reliable coolant seal on reassembly.
