Allright this is kind of a wtf day for me.I just sold offf my motor today.really cheap and everything.Last night my serpintine belt started to blow apart and i figured that it was just cause i neglected it and it was just old and rotted.Well today i put the new belt on after the motor was gone.I go and start up my jeep and my water pump pulley starts grinding on the water pump housing.Im like wtf.I take the belt back off try to spin the pump and it wont move.i go get a new water pump from advanced and i pull out the old one when i get home.once i have out the old water pump i pull off the metal line and now i try to put it in the new pump.it wont thread in.I go back to the parts store hoping maybe they have the parts.I went to two differnt auto parts store and the both killed the threads in there pumps trying to get this line in to brand new pumps.The metal line still threads in to the old pump fine and so do new fitings with the same thread it just wont thread into the damn pump.is this a part that i can only get at the dealer like they say or are they just stupid and cant find it on there computer?ahhh wtf.sorry if theres anyerrors i gota get back outside and clean up my mess in the driveway.

Go to any autopart store. They have a pipe thread to nipple in the cooling section. They are made by motormite. It wont have the fancy bend but use more hose.
