Best organized presentation I have seen on Utube. Silence is golden. detailed captions and notes on wrench sizes/torques very much appreciated. excellent camera work/lighting and timing of content. an outstanding presentation and Thank you for your time and hard work....
All this for a water pump...holy shit! On the other hand, this is by far the best repair video format I've seen: no sound, sizes and tools, clear video angles. Thanks for making this!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Dallas Oscar thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Great Work! Much Appreciated! I've got 2 tips for everyone attempting this type of job: 1. If you have to remove the timing belt pulley's, loosen the bolts before you take off the belt...much easier and no worry about moving them as long as the belt is in place. This also goes for the crank pulley bolt...don't remove any belts until all the required bolts are broke loose. 2.Before you remove the timing belt, line everything up as required (TDC, etc.) and mark the pulley's and covers as shown, but also mark the old timing belt with the same position marks. Also, put a mark on the crankshaft pulley anywhere the belt is in contact and mark the belt too. Remove the old belt and lay it next to the new belt. Transfer the marks to the new belt (if you're OCD, you can count the spaces just to be sure). Now your new belt has the same marks as the old belt and when you install it you know you've got it right if the marks on the belt and the pulley's line up.
Great detail! Very good camera work. Easy to follow, I love the breakdown of each nut and bolt and their size as its being shown. Best of all..... It's completely silent. 😅 Exactly the video I needed. Thankyou. I'll hope to find more of your videos on other auto mechanical repairs. I give it an A+. Thanks again and Great Work!😁
Oh by the way. Thanks for not adding some cheesy ass soundtrack with music that plays way to loud. I prefer the low to no sound affects that make some videos hard sit through
Thanks, Thomas! I wanted to have videos that work more like a manual. Detailed, step-by-step instructions...and paced so that someone can pause when needed, and continue without missing anything. Plus, I like listening to my own music while doing repairs, rather than having to hear someone speak...you can't understand them half the time. Anyway, thanks for the compliment...and thanks for watching!
Es el video más completo que eh visto, estoy pensando muy seriamente en aventarme ese jalesote, por que no es cualquier cosa lleva su chiste, tendré que comprar herramienta como la del video para facilitar todo, muchas gracias desde la CDMX
Nice video really helped a lot. I would just like to add that on the PS pump @4:21 loosen the pivot bolt on the other side. The top bolt on the PS Pump was a 15mm and from the bottom is much easier that the top if you use a 15mm long handle wrench form the HFT's long handle wrenches set. There is a tab at the top and bottom where a 1/2 breaker bar drive will fit to move the pump up and down, had to use a hammer though. A radiator hose pick speeds up removing the rad hoses.
Thanks...and you're right about the long handle 15mm wrench. When making this video, my tool arsenal wasn't quite as massive as it is now. And yes, I have a hose pick now...it does make removing the hose faster. Thanks for the additional input...it'll make it easier for the person who reads the comments. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video Definitely would have quit if not for your perfect and simple instructions. It was nice knowing exactly what I had to take off and what I didn't. Saved me from wasting a lot of time. And FU to whoever designed this haha
Yeah, I'm sure there are engineers that sit in a meeting room somewhere, just laughing and saying, "Wait 'til someone tries to replace that...HA HA HA!" Glad it helped...thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this. Do you consider the timing belt and water pump replacement as overlapping work? I ask because Chrysler quoted me for 10 hours of work and I told them that both parts are in the same area.
Thought i watched a great video on how to do this already.. and now im watching this one.. definitely using your guide when i replace mine! Great job on the video. Thank you for doing step by step as well =)
Excellent vid! Thank you for sharing. [Edit: Some may find a Serpentine Belt Tool helpful, as clearance and reach can be difficult for the ham-handed. It's available as a tool exchange item at the chain auto parts stores.]
words were not necessary! or shitty music, Thanks for that. Very well done video. Made the same special tool as you used in the vid. Tomorrow morning ill tackle this, with confidence, thanks to your video. I actually have no questions....you pretty much covered it all...Thank you!
Scratching my head, all that take off for a water pump. You forgot to mention to replace timing belt since you took half the motor apart lol. Hopefully there's a simpler way.
hey i thank you !, i have looked at very many different approches to this timing belt issue..... mine has 120 + thou on it.....no bullshit...... i was wondering if i could ever find one that really did show a comprehensive way to get the belt done right..... i seen yet another video that states that if you have steering pump problems..... it could be the screen & not the pump..... could help to put new fluid in after cleaning up the fluid canister screen........... thanks for this video..... i am damm sure going to use it.
Done a bunch of these it's kind of shitty ! No room and a bit time consuming even after you've done 4or5 of them this job never really gets too much easier just a bit more familiar is all but it still takes some damm time to do
i can't believe dodge put the fuckin water pump in this location. I've done a few fixes on the wife's car but it appears I've met my match with this issue since I have basic tools and didn't want to spend days and more money for tools and/or accessories to do this task. I won't ever get another dodge in my lifetime. But like one comment stated, awesome detailed video so thanks for that.
None of the videos I’ve watched show how to reinstall harmonic balancer 😕 or what tool to use or how to make one I can’t for the life of me get this dang thing back on
words were not necessary! or shitty music, Thanks for that. Very well done video. Made the same special tool as you used in the vid. Tomorrow morning ill tackle this, with confidence, thanks to your video. I actually have no questions....you pretty much covered it all...even torque specs....Thank you!
Thanks for understanding my platform. Believe me, no one wants to hear the background around here (blaring internet radio heavy metal, neighbor's dogs barking, generator running). And I don't have a clear, articulate voice for narration. These are designed so someone could take a laptop, tablet or smartphone and follow along. Sort of a manual/vid hybrid
Just bought one of these and the water pump fails 1 month later. Why does it have to be such a difficult process. Auto shops want $800-900 to fix it, so I guess I'll attempt it myself. A pump kit is only $68 from Rock Auto, so it won't hurt to try.
Hey brother I got a question, wich way do you turn your crankshaft clockwise or counter clockwise two full turns to see if you have the marks right afther installing timing belt?
Yes, I agree with everyone - great vid - very informative --- HOWEVER --- and that's a big HOWEVER, you spent little time on the put back together project!!!! My 06 Stratus is a 2nd vehicle, thank goodness because it's been on jacks in my driveway for two days now. I keep coming back to your video, and one other on the '06 year model....and to my amazement, I have gotten all the way to the water pump!!!! YAY!! There are some major things to figure out when putting it all back....like how do get that xxxking crankshaft pulley back on?? How to you "clamp" the camshaft pulleys to get the belt on, when there's nothing to clamp them to? And now I'm wondering...how the hell do you get both the engine mount and the engine to mount brackets in??? I can get either one in by itself, but then can't get the other one in! WTF!!! Anyway, I haven't given up yet, hopefully something will come to me quickly! I have two statements to make: 1) Don't buy a Dodge. I have it straight from a customer service person with Dodge that the reason they design the vehicles the way they are is because they want you the customer to go back to the dealer to have repairs made. They don't want the customers to get hurt while working on the vehicle - - LOL, BS - they want your money. 2) If you're a backyard mechanic, like me, don't do this work - it isn't worth it. I had 3 estimates done on this project, average of $495 labor (that's not a Dodge dealer!). I have spent 2 days working on it - just beginning to put back together - it's just not worth it!! Now, if you can help me with the mounts - I'd sure appreciate it!!!! Joel
Sorry, Joel...I did get a little lazy (more like hurried) on this one. This Stratus belonged to a friend's girlfriend, and she was losing patience with my taking time to take vid shots of the process. I did it for free, just to make the video, and she had a car to drive while this one was down. She became really worrisome, so I put everything back together quick. Thanks for watching!
New rough belt and old smooth pulleys are bound to not mesh perfectly and make a little noise. I shouldn't be disturbingly loud, but it won't be silent for sure. The top timing cover is easy to remove, so inspect the belt every 25 miles or so to be sure it's not showing edge wear from rubbing on something.
For anyone please…at 14:10 of this video he shows two fasteners/bolts to connect the car frame to the engine mount…I need to know part numbers for those bolts please. My car is missing those bolts. Thanks.
@@GreaseMonkeyFever I'm retired, 70 and my money comes from pensions, I would be proud to share this income with a good mechanic that is still feeding kids. I'll call the shop. lol
What was the tool you used with the ratchet at 10:12 to remove the alternator bolt? Thank you for making this video. I'm getting ready to change my timing belt/Water pump this weekend on my 2005 Sebring, which has 212,000 miles
Get the 1/4" and 3/8" combo. The 1/2" is huge and would work better for large trucks. If you can swing it, get the low-profile socket set...it adds a LITTLE more clearance in tight spaces. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for making this tutorial! Any tips for torquing the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft gears? I'm assuming they're going to rotate when being torqued. Should I remove the valve cover and hold the cam with a wrench? Do they make a special spanner wrench to keep the crankshaft pulley from rotating? Thanks again.
In the video, the homemade spanner I used to hold the camshaft sprockets while loosening is also what I used to tighten them. It was made from a $8 steel bar, four 1/4" bolts, and two 1/2" bolts. After making the video, I welded it all together to make it "prettier" and flatter, but it worked great in its crude state. I also used the same spanner for holding a crankshaft pulley while tightening the bolt. Maybe I'll do a video on making a homemade spanner! Thanks for watching!
My car has a broken timing belt? Do you think the valves bend? Do you think I have to replace the entire head cylinder? The belt broke while I was driving.
I have a dodge stratus 2006 and Need to replace the timing belt and water pump too. Can you list out all of the items needed to do the job? and I can see you have some special extended tools to reach some bolts. If I don't have it . Can I still fasten these bolts? And where do you get the water pump and timing belt at? Thanks Really helpful video.
Mine was super close..I had like an 1/8th inch of clearance. loosen the engine mounting bolts and try to push the engine to create a bigger gap...pry bar and block of wood should do the trick if you just need that 1/8th"
On the crankshaft pulley there is a mark that lines up with a mark on the block. The camshaft pulleys have marks that line up with each other. When installing the belt, make sure they stay that way. That is how you align crank and cam pulleys. Also make sure you turn the crank a few times to see if they line up again and again. If not, adjust like in the video.
hi I was turning the wrong bolt on the PS Pump, found the correct 13mm. I have a 2006 Stratus and the cam pulley bolts are 18mm... LOL somehow I got the intake off and on the exhaust I thought I rounded off the bolt. After I discovered an 18mm fit on the other good sprocket bolt I took a file and cleaned up all metal that had been gouged by the 19mm socket, now the 18mm fits on the bolt.
Not sure about the 2.7...a friend brought this one (his girlfriend's car) over last year. And as far as taking it on yourself, that depends. Do you have the extra cash...do you have a pretty good arsenal of tools to handle most any job? This vehicle ties the timing belt with the water pump...pretty sure the same for the 2.7L. If you do take it on, the main thing to remember is to keep the timing in place throughout the project...don't let it move and get out of sync!
I like how you said engine to mount brackett because they are engine brackets or mounts not motor mounts a motor is electric an engine is internal combustion fact
I plan to never again by a Dodge product due to the ridiculousness of this repair. I changed the timing belt in my Hyundai in about 3 hrs. New water pump in my Mazda took 2 hrs....water pump/belt in this Dodge....12 HOURS! Lost me as a customer forever.
Best organized presentation I have seen on Utube. Silence is golden. detailed captions and notes on wrench sizes/torques very much appreciated. excellent camera work/lighting and timing of content. an outstanding presentation and Thank you for your time and hard work....

How long did this job take you?
How do you get the timing belt back on and keep it all in place at the same time
Just finished this job with your instructions. Thanks! Do you think it's normal to hear whining coming from the timing belt after starting it up?
New rough belt and old smooth pulleys are bound to not mesh perfectly and make a little noise. I shouldn't be disturbingly loud, but it won't be silent for sure. The top timing cover is easy to remove, so inspect the belt every 25 miles or so to be sure it's not showing edge wear from rubbing on something.
What's that tool called that you use a ratchet extension

Anyone have a problem with the crank pulley hitting the frame and not being able to come off?
Mine was super close..I had like an 1/8th inch of clearance. loosen the engine mounting bolts and try to push the engine to create a bigger gap...pry bar and block of wood should do the trick if you just need that 1/8th"
My belt was broken how can I align the camshafts pulleys with the Mark's and the crankshaft too

It also doesn't turn on
great video thanks
What is the marker that you use to mark the timing marks?
Thanks for watching! I use a paint pen. You can get them from Walmart in the arts and craft section.

Hi i would like to ask Dodge users about your experience. What are the cons about Dodge?
I plan to never again by a Dodge product due to the ridiculousness of this repair. I changed the timing belt in my Hyundai in about 3 hrs. New water pump in my Mazda took 2 hrs....water pump/belt in this Dodge....12 HOURS! Lost me as a customer forever.
My camshaft pulley bolts are 18mm not 19
Dong King glad u said it
Just take the whole engine apart to get to the water pump. HA HA
What,the camera doesn't have a microphone?
