I generally consider myself mechanically illiterate, but I was able to follow this video's instructions and successfully replace my water pump on my 2002 Dodge 1500 4.7L in under 2.5hrs; thank you for the video.
I like real time videos like this instead of a 2 minute video where everything appears to be as easy as drinking a beer and goes down as easy as a raw oyster. Great video!
Thanks for this video. I have a 2003 4.7 Ram. I noticed the other day that I had a crack at the corner of the radiator near the upper hose which caused a number of issues from overheating to coolant spray all over the engine bay. Given that the truck is 14 years old I've ordered all new parts, and am glad to find this video.
Great video , I getting ready to change my water this weekend , I just notice a pink liquid coming out out the either the water pump it self or from the thermostat housing , I guess I’ll have to find out this soon enough 👍🏽 thanks again

hahhah "you gotta make faces at it. one thing you learn from being a mechanic is patients and some words im not going to say on camera" this guys awesome!!
I've done this twice in 100k miles on my 08. For those of us without the fan clutch wrench and holding tool, it is still very doable. I remove all but one of the water pump bolts with everything in place, then loosen the shroud. Tilting the fan shroud to the rear will give enough room for the fan and pump to be removed through the top. I then put the old pump in a vice, clamping both the vice and pulley. Yes, it bends the assembly, but it's junk anyway. A pipe wrench will loosen the fan clutch. On reassembly I leave the fan off, put everything else in place without bolting the fan shroud, spin on the fan, and secure the shroud. Yes, it marks the fan clutch a tad, but doesn't hurt a thing.
I just saw your video the other day and really helped me change the water pump on my 2003 4.7 Dodge Ram. The only problem is when I turn on my ac it starts to squeal. I didn’t have that problem before and the belt is in good condition with no cracks or nothing.
love to see a good extensive shop-toolbox tour. lots of tool junkies out there tim. i know certainly am. also love to see some vids on any 2011 to 2014 hyundai sonata 2.4 gdi. any repairs on that particular motor. thanks again for everything u do buddy. another good video. have a good day
l don't know how to work on a dodge but a buddy of mine came to me needing a water pump replaced and this video is easy to learn. thanks a lot! Only question is, do you open the air bleed then fill it with the new antifreeze?

When you started talking about mechanic anger with stubborn parts I could totally relate haha

I just use a big adjustable wrench and set the handle at 12 o'clock and wack it hard and fast with a crow bar. Quick and ez
This is a great video..... Awesome detail
