Leave the pretty watch in the jewelry box. Not necessary to know the time when working in a dirty, cramped environment like an engine bay. And when you use penetrating oil tap on the parts with a wrench or something solid so the vibration will help the oil wick into the surfaces corroded to each other. And be patient for the oil to work its way into the surfaces and loosen the corrosion bonding the two parts to each other. Also, shove a rag into the water pump open cavity while cleaning off the old gasket from the engine block mounting surface. You don't need to debris into the system which will obstruct coolant flow in the smaller passage ways.
Would the water pump cause issues with heat in the cabin? My temp gauge does the same as stated in the video and the driver side gets no heat. My belt makes noises and I get a whistling kind of noise while I’m driving.
i'd check if the airflow is the same on both sides first. if it is, then it's a blend door issue. if it isn't then check your heater core hoses for leaks and while it's running on heat and you're replicating the problem. drop a few drops of water on them to see if it steams up. both hoses should be hot. one flows in and one flows out. so both should be hot. if they aren't then look for leaks under your hoses for leaks. and also all your airbox connections to make sure nothing is unintentionally feeding a jet stream of air leaking towards your heater core
When you have been repairing vehicles for over 35 years like we have you can go by feel on a simple repair such as this. Thank you for adding the torque specs for our viewers to utilize if they wish. Have a great day!
no a gasket instead of rtv. you don't want to use rtv on a water pump. it's a dry gasket. What the bearing grease does is a tell that all the bolts are snugged down tight when it oozes out. it also acts like a holder for the gasket when you are mounting it so it doesn't slip. last thing you want is the bolt to start threading into the threads with the bolt lol rtv is better used when mounting two different metals together
@alrio8102 I use small zip ties on all 4 corners to hold paper gaskets in place for this reason. You don't want them on super right, just enough to hold it in place.
@@atruerock8020two drastically different metals together as in oil pan to engine block right? Because isn’t the water pump steel and the engine block cast iron?
That code points to a circuit failure with the ECM or PCM. If you haven't already I would wire brush the posts on the battery and also the inside and outside of the battery cable ends to ensure they are making a good contact. See it this helps.
If you top off the radiator with antifreeze and fill the overflow reservoir your should be fine. Let the Jeep run in the driveway for a little bit (let it warm up) and you should be okay. I typically check the reservoir level after a day or two and add accordingly. Hope this helps you out.
Great Video! Just followed this to change my 07 JK’s pump. Appreciate it!
I'm glad the video helped you out with your 07 JK! Happy wrenching!

Any issues with the gasket that came with the water pump? Looks kind of cheap just curious if it started leaking on you thanks
It has been fine haven't had any leaks on the water pump.
@@HomeownerRepair thanks for the update!

It's probably a blend door issue.
Stopped up heater core is a well known issue with these jk's. Back flushing may work or else new heater core.
What tools are needed for this a full list?
I mention the tools I use in the video as we go alone with the water pump replacement.
No torque specs?? Ouch! Pulley bolts:
250 in/lbs . Pump bolts 105 in/lbs. always torque to specs.

@@atruerock8020genuinely asking, not arguing. I’m just trying to understand in more detail where you would use rtv.
Thank you for the reply :)
After I changed my water pump I'm getting a p1607 code now
That code points to a circuit failure with the ECM or PCM. If you haven't already I would wire brush the posts on the battery and also the inside and outside of the battery cable ends to ensure they are making a good contact. See it this helps.
should have included bleeding the system
