Thanks GL, that cleared so much up for me

Just got a call back from the mechanic. Apparently all he had to replace was the power steering pump. I asked about the pulley and they said everything was fine. It only cost me $290 including the $50 tow and the $35 inspection. I'm hoping that's all it'll need now for a while...I'll find out on Weds. when I can get back into it.

I forgot to mention in the first post that it was only like 14 degrees out when I was driving it home, and only drove a couple of miles with it getting hot, so I'm hoping the damage was minimal. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to God that everything is ok.

You got off easy - just think - if it were a boat, 2,900 for the fix, 500 for the tow and 350 for inspection (a beat run by mechanic after boat is fixed)

I know I did, I just hope that it all holds up, and that there wasn't any damage to the aluminum heads or else I'd be screwed.

Last time someone asked me this, the pictures were of something else,

You may have a warped cylinder head, check your fluids.

The mechanic said everything was fine, he checked for over heating damage. I'll check all of the fluids tomorrow though, thanks.

Luckily you have a cast iron head and a virtually indestructible engine in that thing. Even a couple of miles with no water flow would toast a lot of engines, but you are likely o.k. with the 4.0. Just watch your coolant level over the next 300-500 miles.

Well it's been a few hundred miles since then, so I guess a complete fluid check would be wise to do in the morning.

I've heard that the 4.0 is one hell of a motor. I've seen countless ZJ's with a lot more miles than my has and still going strong. I just hope the transmission holds up too...
