Video was super helpful, thank you! My advice for those about to jump in, those bottom two bolts on the water pump are blind. Make sure you have the water pump bolts! There are 3 timing chain cover bolts next to them, same size and everything. You do not wanna remove those by accident!
1st off, thank you very much for the video. I'm about to start on my water pump. I just wanted to let u know about the 15 ft lbs plus 60 degrees comment u made. The 60 degrees is very common in aviation and is referred to as wrench arc torque. 60 degrees is 1/6 of a complete circle. There r 6 sides to a hex nut so u can use the "corners" of the hexes as land marks and rotate your bolts precisely 60 degrees pretty easily. In your case, the 15 ft lbs over came the friction from the o-ring and also ensured the surfaces were mated properly, then the 60 degree wrench arc torque was based off bolt diameter, thread pitch, and material properties and chosen by the engineers to ensure a tight and even seal without stretching the bolts or warping the mating surface. Wrench arc is the preferred method of torque'ing most things on a Blackhawk helicopter. I just wanted to give u a little info and background on that as a token of my appreciation for your detailed video. Thanks again!
Just did mine! thank you. i have a high mileage f150 but i've been able to fix almost everything myself with your help and some other channels here on youtube. you guys have saved me countless dollars. thank you my brother. all the way from New Jersey!
Man thank you for this great video. This saved my butt today when I had to replace mine. Thanks to this video I knew the exact tools I would need and in what order to go. Managed to remove and replace the water pump replace the thermostat and vac fill the coolant system in around an hour.
Instead of pulling the throttle body you can remove the thermostat housing and everything moves down out of the way. That’s what I did and it had plenty of room without removing the throttle body. Took me about 30 minutes from draining the coolant until it was back up and running. It really wasn’t as bad of a job as I thought it was going to be.
I just change one out on my 2013 F150 and finished the job today. My two biggest issues were #1 the water pump pulled out about 3/16” and bound up and would not move. I used a 3 foot pry bar and my largest screw drive and it would not move. The solution? Went to the hammer drawer and pulled out a 24 ounce ball peen hammer and alternately hit on the left a right sides of the shaft housing and basically walked it out, the pump sticking is pretty common from what I’ve read.. #2 was I got it all back together and started the air purge process and had a major leak. It cost me about a gallon and a half of new coolant. The upper hose Y pipe o-rings were the culprit. The one that goes on the thermostat housing was leaking profusely. If I had it to do over again I’d replace those O-rings. When you disturb them they have tendency to leak and big. You need Dorman part number 926-168.
Do the Y-pipe o-rings when you do this too. Already done mine once after she was dribbling gatoraide on the ground. I'm about to do 'em again. Truck overheated towing a bit too heavy, and blew the water pump and the y-pipe o-rings.
Just got mines fixed by dealership. When i got it back. The Coolant reservoir was fill ro the top. Way above max line. Should i remove some to bring it back to mid/max line?
I’m about to do this myself. Truck overheated over the weekend. Checked under the hood and it’s the first thing I noticed was the water pump movement. I bought this truck a month ago, 108k miles, has an aftermarket exhaust that is a bit loud, which is why I’m assuming I never heard the noise coming from the pulley. Hopefully this is the only damage 🙏🏼
The pump coming out was definitely a bitch. Almost got it in a bind, even trying to pry it out side to side, but eventually got it out. The new one went in pretty easy. The old one had the propeller, or whatever you want to call the inside plastic piece of the shaft, it had completely broke off, but no damage that I could see in the housing. I’m about to fill her up with coolant and hopefully she’s good to go!
Thanks for the video, I was surprised how easy the job looked and figured I was missing something. Your video helped confirm my initial thoughts when looking at it.
Shame on Ford , I have a Chevy Silverado that has 309000 miles same water pump. And no I am not a Chevy guy. Just stating a fact. I drive a F350 as well.

This comment saved me! I had one bolt left over, and had NO CLUE where it went, until I read this comment!
Thank you!!!!!

Just watched your video 2 weeks ago to change my starter, and now watching this one. Mines got 131k on it

Good video and advice. I'm actually doing mine now been having issues for over a week now. Thanks bro!!!
This is the exact video I need! Thank you. Very detailed and clear instructions
Do the Y-pipe o-rings when you do this too. Already done mine once after she was dribbling gatoraide on the ground. I'm about to do 'em again. Truck overheated towing a bit too heavy, and blew the water pump and the y-pipe o-rings.
Thank you for this video! And your viewers!!!!
Do you know if the thermostat housing has a o ring where it connects to the water pump ?
it does, it's inside the thermostat housing. came with my water pump kit
Just got mines fixed by dealership. When i got it back. The Coolant reservoir was fill ro the top. Way above max line. Should i remove some to bring it back to mid/max line?
Thank you about the info on how to remove the clip
What all socket sizes do you need ?
i can't hear it but does your engine have that coyote tick ?
Thank you. I'm happy I stumbled into your video. Great job
Great video, my have 150 to do myself. Thanks for posting

Good luck. It wasn't too big of a deal. Getting the pump out is the hardest part

Awesome job! Hopefully it is all good now
Also need help with spark plug change and cam sensor changes
Any leads would be appreciated
Great video, do you think the pump could be taken out without taking off the throttle body? I'm currently doing this job now. Thanks!😎👍
It would be extremely difficult. The throttle body comes off easy
@@AutoDad Thanks!
@Auto Dad I just did mine at 145k I'm curious where you are from, my engine was brand new looking compared.
Thanks for the video, I was surprised how easy the job looked and figured I was missing something. Your video helped confirm my initial thoughts when looking at it.
Michigan. My truck was imported from Canada. They tend to coat the engine bays with petroleum
I'm stuck at trying to get the stuck water pump the rest of the way out.
Me too, what helped you get it out?
@@dominiclara7682 I was finally able to get to the bottom side and pry from there.
good step by step, thanks
What air intake did you install?
The cheap Amazon intake
Good job!
Life saver
I'm probably goin to die one day due to "uh-uh-uh-feels-good" and "ehh-seems-good" being the only torque specs I've ever followed.
LIST THE YEAR ON THE TITLE PLEASE!
🎉seen auto dad today at my local Walmart!
Awesome!
Sounded just like mine. 110k on it
I wonder what's gonna go next on my 5.0 😢 116,200 miles passed today
It's all simple stuff so far
@Auto Dad looks like its the Trans oil cooler lines or cooler pipe I think
thank you
Have 172,000 on my original water pump. 2016 model
Same here! About 172k. Just replaced mine watching this video
Bruh why you gotta bring florida into this😂
Crow Bar
Shame on Ford , I have a Chevy Silverado that has 309000 miles same water pump. And no I am not a Chevy guy. Just stating a fact. I drive a F350 as well.
👍
102 000 kms mine shit the bed
Yv new ringgtf I didn't go to school for but I'm gonna make up 9:30 Siri
