Re: 1999 cherokee 4.0 running hot....sorta

ok today i tried to do a test drive after i installed a new thermost. It overheated, light came on and everything. It was just runnign a little hot then teh guage all of a sudden went completely over to the red. I turned the motor off and parked it. While i inspected it i notice as i was under the hood facing the motor that the right side of the radiator (by the cap) was just warm NOT hot as well as the lower radiator hose on that same side. HOWEVER the other side (left as facing it) was VERY HOT!!!!!! as well as the heater lines on that side. Does this mean water pump??? I was thinking water pump or blockage? But i just flushed it? The water pump does NOT leak and it does not have any wiggle in it... Can a pump go bad and not leak?? PLEASE ADVISE???????

If I am going to replace the water pump i will go with a high flow one? Any suggestions of a good one?????????
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!!!
