    Thanks for posting the video. I am replacing my therm and pump this Friday and being a (mostly) novice there were details in your process that other videos have not had. Hopefully this will be the end to my overheating. Already replaced a cracked radiator two months ago so that part is fixed. All research leads to my WP being the culprit now. Will keep an eye out for future repair videos if you post them. Please thank the camera operator as they did a great job as well!

    You make this look so easy, I wish i had the guts to do it myself but with my luck I will mess up something else or have left over bolts!!! Thanks for the video, watching from Reynosa, Mexico September 24, 2020

    I see that you show how to remove the water pump AFTER the fan blade/fan clutch have been removed. Actually, that is step 1, and the hardest of all. I just changed mine last week. The fan was so hard to get off, that I pulled the water pump off with the fan blade attached, which was no small task. Then, I took the fan blade/water pump assembly to a machine shop to get them separated, so I could re-use the fan blade/fan clutch. Apparently, the fan blade assembly is often so tight, due to the rotation of the fan, that it cannot be removed, even with the proper 36 mm wrench and spanner wrench. Also, after everything was back together, I didn't get all of the air out of the cooling system and had to have my Jeep put on an air-lift machine to get it "burped". Wow. Not sure I'll be doing much more work on my own with this Jeep. LOL! Not for the faint of heart, for sure. But, it's running great now, after all that effort, and I paid $51 for the new water pump. Thanks for walking through the rest of the process.

    Lance, i have a 2003 jeep Liberty limited. It has 2 fans. one attached to the pump. I need to know if the fan attached to the pump can be changed if it malfunctions without changing the water pump.

    THX for sharing your installation procedure, you mention using antifreeze on the threads bolts. Will that take place of thread lock?

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  11 лет назад

      Not antifreeze but ANTI SEIZE. If you don't know what that is then ask your local auto store clerk. Yes it will help with thread lock. Sorry about the delayed response but I've been busy the past two days with an American holiday tradition. Thanks for your views and comment!

    @thegreasegrizzly9332 7 лет назад +4

    He's doing a good job, but for the lower hose you don't need to pull it off on either end, there's a little nut on the bottom of the radiator that let's you drain coolant

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  7 лет назад +1

      +The Grease Grizzly The lower hose only needs to be removed when wanting to change the thermostat. I would always recommend changing the thermostat. It's a inexpensive part.. thanks for watching

    This a nice tutorial, even with the music. I actually enjoyed it. Obviously I can see what you did. I'm going to do this on my Jeep soon. Hopefully this weekend! I do have one question though. How do I know if my Jeep has a fan clutch?

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  8 лет назад

      Thank you so much for watching... A fan clutch is really easy to see. If your jeep has one, it'll be connected to the water pump pulley. As opposed to the water pump and fan being separate entities.

    could you help me how replace the radiator fan motor for to star with t all this project with my 2002 jeep liberty ..thx... ur video is really good..

    • @LanceB

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  11 лет назад

      Fan clutch? do you have a diesel engine? If you do or not I can post both for you but it'll be two different discussions and it'll take a lot of time. Do you have a 3.7 L engine or 2.8 L?

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  11 лет назад

      If you do have the 2.8L Diesel I can post the instructions for you but I can't post a video about it. Since I don't have that particular engine.... Appreciate your views.

    • @MrKourtvegas

  • @starecrazy3920
    @starecrazy3920 9 лет назад +1

    got the new pump in went almost too smooth but the pump wasn't the problem any other ideas I'm at a loss at this point unless their is some bypass valve that I'm not finding

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  9 лет назад

      +Stare Crazy You can try feeling the the top and bottom hose once the jeep is warmed up. Check to see if both hoses are hot. If one is hot and the other is cold then the thermostat could've gotten stuck closed. If its a new thermostat then the thermostat could've been placed backwards.

  • @chewbaccac-3po129

    Mr Lance I also own 04 Jeep Liberty .
    question what does water pump do or work for ?

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  8 лет назад +1

      It circulates(pumps) coolant throughout the cooling system. The coolant has to be circulated through the radiator and the heater core to provide a safe engine temperature. So if your pump stops working the coolant would quickly overheat and cause major damage to the engine.

  • @AnthonyVlogsOfficialChannel
    @AnthonyVlogsOfficialChannel 7 лет назад +1

    Does a water pump need to be replaced though? For example my jeep leaks from there, couldn't I just put a new gasket?

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  7 лет назад +1

      +Anthony Vlogs no for what's it worth toward the value of your engine, it's highly recommended to take the safe route. Replace your water pump, seals and coolant... weep holes are specifically designed to warn you of catastrophe water pump failure. It might seem like a lot but if you do it yourself you'll save hundreds... if you have any further questions, you can always try private chat

    • @AnthonyVlogsOfficialChannel
      @AnthonyVlogsOfficialChannel 7 лет назад +1

      Lance Yeah you're right, I already purchased the whole pump and gonna replace it later today.

    hey I have been having troubles with no heat changed the thermostat flushed the heater core drilled a hole one the box that the heater core is located to check the blend door doesn't overheat and stays at half way on the heat gage I'm all our of ideas and the only thing I can think is water pump at this point unlikely that it is any ideas

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  9 лет назад

      +Stare Crazy Yes, it sounds like a water pump issue. Even though there's no audible bearing displacement the fins on the inside of the water pump could not be spinning or worn. You could try squeezing the bottom and top hoses to see if theres suction. If theres none then the water pump could be the problem.

    • @starecrazy3920
      @starecrazy3920 9 лет назад

      +Lance thank you I Will try that awesome video by the way

    • @starecrazy3920
      @starecrazy3920 9 лет назад +1

      +Stare Crazy I noticed my old pump had a green plug in the top but the water pump I got and you have both didn't have the green plug but had the hole do I need a plug because it was so brittle it just fell apart when I tried to take it out

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  9 лет назад +1

      Stare Crazy No the Weep holes serves different purposes. Leaving it unplugged would be okay and they can't to do their job if they're plugged as well.

    • @starecrazy3920
      @starecrazy3920 8 лет назад +1

      it turned out to be the heater core I finally bit the bullet and changed it it took 5 hours but we'll worth it I'm surprised I was able to get water flow thru it last year it weighed about 2 lbs more then the new one guessing it was full of debris

    • @guyrousseau8364
      @guyrousseau8364 9 лет назад

    • @luckyroxie157
      @luckyroxie157 8 лет назад

      +Guy Rousseau +ProfessionalDad I just had the extreme difficulty of that very struggle. I pulled the whole assembly off, then took to a machine shop to have put on a vise to get it separated. It would not have come off under the hood, even with 36mm wrench and spanner wrench!

    • @luckyroxie157
      @luckyroxie157 8 лет назад +1

      +Kevin Ruff There are exceptions to every rule. LOL! This particular Jeep model is NOT reverse threaded. I verified that with the new water pump before I started cranking down on that thing. It was so tight, a spanner wrench would never have gotten it off. I had to remove the whole assembly, water pump, fan clutch, etc., then put in a vise and beat it with a hammer. It was awful.

      @luckyroxie157 8 лет назад +1

  • @gateway8833
    @gateway8833 6 лет назад

    A couple of things, if someone purchases a Thermostat that is not OEM pay attention to the direction of installation, I have seen some that do not have the small location tab and you can easily invert during install. Make sure you check the Tensioner and Idler for bearing noise, if I pull a water pump I replace the tensioner. Replace the belt, even if it’s got only 20k, they are cheep, also if you have a rubber/plastic preservative you can soak the belt for 10 min or so and the belt will last for years. The last thing is check waterless coolant, it is superior to what we normally install. I forgot to tell you to drill a 1/8 hole in the flange of the Thermostat to allow easier air bleeding. Make sure not to drill in matting surfaces.

      @LanceB  11 лет назад

      Sorry to hear about the thermostat. These parts are mass produced in mexico and i've worked on hundreds of engines. Bolts just break sometimes, mainly its the quality of the bolts. I need to make a video about tapping a broken bolt. its so easy. Trust me it does happen often when you work on engines. Im glad you got it fixed.

    • @LanceB
      @LanceB  11 лет назад

      Sorry about the delayed response... I was driving when I received your question. Okay, There are only four mounting screws holding the fan assembly into place. They are located under the hood facing the engine on the fan assembly. Be sure to disconnect the negative side of the battery first! Remove up and lower radiator hoses along with the electrical connector. Loosen then remove the four mounting bolts with a ratchet (preferred). Next, simply lift up to remove the fan assembly. The fan assembly is sold as one whole unit so if any parts are defective than be prepared to obtain a brand new fan assembly...... Installation is reverse of removal. If you like I can make a video for you but you won't be able to see it for at least 48 hours. ..
