I want to thank you @1A for your guidance, I'm no where close to a mechanic but, with your simple instructions, I have put on a new water pump and distribution cap and my 1995 Dodge Ram is sounding and running better!
Great video!!! Replaced my water pump yesterday!!! I’m not a mechanic by a long shot!!! Step by step instructions and truck is running great!! Thank you so much!!!
I watched this early this morning to see what I'd be getting into today. And I got mine done without much trouble. I'm commenting to add my 2 cents (and 50 years of wrenching experience). 1st. Take the fan and shroud off first. Gives a ton of room to mess with hose clamps. 2nd you don't need to completely remove upper and lower rad hoses unless you intend to replace them. 3rd. It takes no time to remove the alternator (2 bolts) and AC compressor (5 bolts). Why? To replace that damned bypass hose. Remove the bracket on the front of the engine for open access. Also the Rams are notorious for heater not hot enough. The bypass hose is huge. I restricted it by inserting a flat washer that fit snug inside the hose on the pump end. My heater is blazing now. May as well do a thermostat while it's easy to get to also. Thanks!
thanks for the comment....have to say that the a/c compressor intimidates me .....The alternator is no problem...and I been trying to figure out how to change the thermostat
@@TheErms12345 nah, just wait for it to completely fail and overheat the engine. It's really easy to install the water pump before installing the new/rebuilt engine.
I'm sure he would have replaced the bypass hose if he could have, but it is impossible to replace the bypass hose without removing the large cast aluminum bracket (don't know what it's called) that involves the AC compressor and the alternator.
I am always afraid to remove that bracket but it will make repairs like this a lot easier. I have no choice now because a mouse chewed through my temperature sensor wires. Bummer.
He most likely did. Like he says in most videos, the video is entirely focused on one part, but other parts may seem to be magically replaced because they put it in a separate video that relates to the same steps
Fan shrouds should be made in two interlocking pieces, upper and lower. Far too often they are simply in the way and require fan removal. Imagine how much easier even fan removal would be without the upper half of the shroud in the way. Just some thoughts.
first order of business is ALWAYS loosen the fan and remove the fan shroud with fan lol THEN do the steps you started in the beginning . youd have so much more room.
I really enjoy your videos very much you show everything and explain it clearly I have a 99 Dodge and I do appreciate the video so very much I have a water pump problem and I have changed one before but just want to make sure I cross all my T's and Dot all my i if you get what I mean
What an excellent video.... perfect lighting and real good step by step explanations. You really make it encouraging for the DIY person to accomplish this job. So many repair video's are too dark, camera shaking all over the place or heavy wind noises.
You know if you just pulled the radiator it's easy to get that fan shroud off and easier to access everything. Its only 2 bolts to pull the radiator after the hoses are off .

I was buying parts from these guys, I was saving a ton of money. I’m sure there are still parts that are cheaper but now I look all around b cause the parts all tend to be the same except the price
It's a 'nice to have' tool that makes your job easier because it makes rhythmic beats to loosen the fan clutch, but there is also a manual tool that has two little prongs that will grab and hold the pulley wheel allowing you to use something like a large adjustable wrench to remove the fan. Here's another RUclips video that describes it (ruclips.net/video/iAsE7tHE9Uc/видео.html). But the pneumatic tool is definitely easier.
Done well but I feel like yall did this the hard way. Nothing needs to be grabbed from the bottom, and that lower hose is easier to take off later in the job
What's the name of that damn hose on top of the water pump?? I need to replace mine but cannot find it because I don't know what it's called and don't know where to find a new one
Wow did they pay someone to design this engine? Replacing the waterpump, hoses, and thermostat would take all day and some busted knuckles and a special tool for the fan nut. Jezz...
I've gotten this down to about an hour long job. I don't have a fan clutch tool, but a large pipe wrench and a tire bar work fine. Remove serpentine belt. Use tire bar to exert outward (toward front of vehicle) pressure on the water pump pulley (ONLY IF REPLACING WATER PUMP!!! HIGH RISK OF DAMAGING BEARING IN PULLEY!!!) to keep it from wiggling as I break the fan clutch free. It's a bit of a pain, but the fan can be taken out through the bottom if the nut connector dealy is moved to the driver side (right side as working on it) of the crankshaft pulley. Remove windshield washer reservoir. Remove fan shroud. Remove hoses from water pump unless intending to replace. Free access (about a foot of available space!) in about 7-10 minutes. This time, I am going to be removing a small strip of material from the bottom of the fan shroud to make it possible to remove this component without having to break loose the fan clutch first. Should be able to get this down to about 45 minutes.
@@1AAuto I concur! And seeing various methods is the only way to come up with each individual's preferred method. If only one way is ever explored, there's so much to miss out on!
@@1AAuto And cutting a 2 inch wide strip from the bottom of the shroud did allow it to be slipped in and out without removing the fan and without compromising the shrouds primary function! It'll save about 10 minutes the next time I want easy access to the front of the engine.
It was all going great, until I broke the bolt holding the water pipe on. Just had to be the only tight bolt on the water pump. Then I made a bracket with my welding skills, works, put it all back together, dumped coolant in, and then coolants leaking from the o ring. Don't do what I did folks
One BIG mistake on this vid is the use of METAL tools on the timing cover. Never i repeat N-E-V-E-R use metal tools on aluminum. Youll gouge the crap out of the surfaces. Not everyone is as good as you. Otherwise great video folks. Keep em coming.😁
Yo should have contact cemented the gasket to the water pump before starting, but never on the block......Ive done that for fifty years and never a problem. Without a doubt, the hose clamps should have been replaced. The clamps were simply worn out, with the possibility of water leakage.
Thankfully I skipped ahead to the fan clutch part and was able to see the specialty tool they used, so I closed this video and looked someplace else before wasting any more time, I don't have that tool or anything like it. You need a 36mm wrench or a BIG monkey wrench or pipe wrench, and a way to keep the water pump pulley from spinning (not the fan blade side, but the side the belt rides on.) so you keep the water pump pulley from spinning while turning the big nut counter clockwise: ruclips.net/user/shortsGWF5RnQE_bo
Missed the cheat trick..... Unbolt the ac compressor and the alternator and set them out of the way. Hate that brackets design in there. Much easier to get at that stupid hose that's a bear. Need to replace mine before long it's not looking good from the outside.
Problem with videos is you can't ask questions. Like there is a little o ring that came with the new pump. Where does it go? You mentioned an O ring but didn't show where to put it. So frustrated. So I'm texting a mechanic and he tells me the o ring goes inside the water pump housing. So I put it there. Tightened everything back up and it's still leaking. So now the mechanic says he didn't tell me that so I copied and pasted his exact words. I'm so frustrated. This is costing me so much. I was just trying to save myself money and it's only cost me 4 days and body aches and pains and so much money. Borrowing my clients vehicle to go back and forth to auto store. So... I'm starting over with the hopes of finding that o ring and not having to purchase a new water pump. I'm sorry but this was a busy for me. Please forgive me for ranting but I needed to. I'm sick from what just happened. And what I have to redo.😢

Does this method work for a 5.9 02 durango?
The, weep hole in the bottom of the water pump will leak coolant out when the water pump is bad also.

Exactly what I was thinking. I had to do this a few months ago. I always disconnect the battery as well.
If my water pump is just leaking should I go through all this?
thanks for the comment....have to say that the a/c compressor intimidates me .....The alternator is no problem...and I been trying to figure out how to change the thermostat
@@TheErms12345 nah, just wait for it to completely fail and overheat the engine. It's really easy to install the water pump before installing the new/rebuilt engine.
You need to replace that bypass hose any time do that job couse fixin that's dam near as much work as putting a water pump on em
If you are in there that far I definitely recommend replacing the bypass hose the thermostat and the thermostat housing.
I'm sure he would have replaced the bypass hose if he could have, but it is impossible to replace the bypass hose without removing the large cast aluminum bracket (don't know what it's called) that involves the AC compressor and the alternator.
was hoping to see that, I did it once before many years ago. just wanted to refresh myself before I get into it

I'm in the middle of making a 2 piece one from modified stock ones plastic welders are awesome for these trucks
Awesome video. Always love the how to videos you guys do. It's a lifesaver
Here's an idea : place the bolts into the same holes in the new pump, them move them into the same hole in the old pump when you get it off. 😊
Im diggin in tomorrow but why not put a little gasket sealer on the gasket instead of slipping it under after you connect the coolant hose
Great,informative video! Just put a new one on my '95!
Very good video and excellent narrating ,thank you!
Must be nice to have everything come apart easy..even with the correct tools...I never get that lucky
You’ll be back now to replace the timing cover gasket that will now leak
first order of business is ALWAYS loosen the fan and remove the fan shroud with fan lol THEN do the steps you started in the beginning . youd have so much more room.
This trucks are so rusty, but honestly the best looking ram generation till 2001

What if you can’t get the fan off. The nut just keeps spinning with the belt

What if you dont have one of those air chisels 36mm, whats the best way to get the fan off?
I would like to know if I should use gel over the gasket and what does the thread sealer look like.

Hey 😎 dude, you are my hero, that's the best video
I see about change the water pump, definitely I
gave 5 ⭐✨✨✨✨...
U r brrrrAVE usin n impact on engine bolts!!! I like to b able to feel what's goin on in case something starts to not feel right
Could you by chance be able to tell me what the name of the tool is you used to remove that nut??
The tester vacuum kit used with a air compressor?

I've always just done the "hold the fan with one hand" It often hurts.
Anyone know what size of hose to use in the drain petcock?
helps tremendously....but my van is more complicated and tighter
Havent seen anyone use that flathead trick since my dad showed me it 10+ years ago.
Well Done
What would make it spray water from a hose
Done well but I feel like yall did this the hard way. Nothing needs to be grabbed from the bottom, and that lower hose is easier to take off later in the job
I'm putting a new water pump on my 1993 Dodge 318 Magnum today. No gasket seal for the pump needed 😳?
What's the name of that damn hose on top of the water pump?? I need to replace mine but cannot find it because I don't know what it's called and don't know where to find a new one
It's usually called a bypass hose. On my 5.2L, it's part # 71651 Dayco brand.
Honestly, for me, I'm replacing those hoses and clamps in that shape. Along with the thermostat, etc.
Tom Brady Twist !!!
You know , t😊his is a real good video, but us DIYers don't have all those tools.
SO GLAD I HAVE A CALIFORNIA CAR. THAT RUST IS DISTRESSING.
Wow did they pay someone to design this engine? Replacing the waterpump, hoses, and thermostat would take all day and some busted knuckles and a special tool for the fan nut. Jezz...
Should have change the bypass hose to a screw-type clamp to make the job easier next time.

Are all years dodge rams mechanical fans nut turn to the left to loosen , some videos I’ve watched say they turn to the right to loosen
Mine is a 95. Lefty loosey.
How long does it take to complete this job?
Only a couple of hours.
Its 3.5 hours in the book
It’s easier if you take off the radiator. Radiator only has two bolts.
On my 95 dodge there are no water pump pulley bolts and cant pop it off
