Thank you!! Followed your video step by step today. Saved me $500 for the local mechanic. Advice to people on the fence about doing it themselves, set aside a good afternoon and some patience. You can do this. the hardest part is undressing the engine bay to get to the pump. There are also 2-3 screws/bolts in tight places so take your time and grab a 6 pack.
I've been smelling anti freeze by the front of my truck for 3 months but could not find the leak. My truck didn't move for 3 days and I just went to leave for work and there is a puddle under the front end. It's the water pump!!! I'm taking it apart now,Thank you so much for the video!!!! I really appreciate it!!!👍👍👊👊
Used your video to replace my brother's Water pump on his truck. Glad I had a guide like yours to follow along with. I ended up stripping the original sensor because it was a plastic piece and on pretty tight. No biggie though a new only ran $34 so that's was alright. Thanks for what ya do keep up the detailed videos.
Great step-by-step instructions. I do however recommend using the right tools, such as dedicated wrenches for nuts, hose clamp pliers instead of channel locks and retaining clip removers instead of screwdrivers for plastic clips.
It should take you anywhere from 2-3.5 hours . I don’t remember exactly how long it took me , proble around 3 or 4 hours . Because I was taking my time and I was also recording it . But if you know what you are doing and you have the right tools it should be anywhere from 2-3 hours.
I beilive i bought it at Autozone, im sure most of auto parts should have it. tool? i dont remember, just look at the video and im sure you can see what i used, nothing special just some hand tools and screw drivers. o yeah , its also nice to have a special tool for clips, to take clips off, i didnt have it at the moment, but now i do. blessings to you. theres also Part 2 and 3 , because the video was too long, so i made 3 parts videos.
@@dimascartech I was curious because my fan isnt coming off as easy your is. So I wasnt sure if there was a special tool. Since you mentioned in the 1st video of the tool and you couldnt remember the name of it.
@@bryanalvarez1963 you know the treads are different, you have to turn clockwise to loosen the fan , its not the usually tread . i was just using channel locks. you can proble use adjustable wrench and i beilive it was 3/8 ratchet socket wrench.
about 2-3.5 hours it depends if you know what you are doing and if you have the right tools. proble took me 3.5 to 4 hours, because i had to record it too.
Draining the radiator as we speak and figured I'd look up a couple of videos because I've seen this done and THOUGHT it was pretty straight forward and it is but if I didn't watch your video I may have screwed up that sensor and I'm sure it would have been ridiculously expensive (it's always the things that don't look pricey that end up being expensive). Thanks and good luck brother, you got a sub from me. Btw, I'm a volunteer firefighter and I have light bars and sirens on my Ram but they're operated by the cigarette lighter port and I'd like to hardwire a real light bar and siren but I'm not sure how to do all that, if you live close enough, I'd let you use my truck and give you a hand doing/filming the installation for your channel while we installed it?
Im here to tell everyone do not expect that fan clutch is going to come off that easy. Before you bother starting go rent the tool. Every truck ive owned they required a special holding tool and a helper to get it loose. I fact my ram my brother had to hold the water pump pulley and i had to stand on a 3 foot adjustable wrench
i did took it off , and also there are 2 more parts to this video. Part#2 ruclips.net/video/V87xEMMw2Ks/видео.html / and part #3 ruclips.net/video/0OJILo8iPFc/видео.html
I know tons of people that still call them dodge my dad has a 2019 ram 1500 he still call a dodge the guys I work with on the railroad still call them dodge it's not a big deal.

glad it was helpful, thank you for the feedback, have a good one :)
Trying to get the fan off. Do you turn clockwise or Counter Clockwise
Clockwise at least that’s what I did on this truck . You can see my video and I explain which way to loosen it .
Thank you sir . Straight to the point and well explained.
You welcome! Thank you for the feedback:)
great video man! what size breaker bar did you use to loosen the belt tensioner? i thought you said 3/8 but wasn't sure ?
yes i beilive it was 3/8
I took the plug all the way out like you did and now it won’t pop back in
which plug are you talking about? the coolant bottom drain plug? maybe its cross treading? did you get it to work? what happened?
You’re the best!
Feel fine doing it myself after this video
Thank you. I appreciate the comment, have a blessed day :)
Nothing like trying to see the very last part and it's completely covered by a different video thanks
thank you for the feedback, just for you and or anyone else i edited the video and removed the video that was blocking last part. hope that helps.
About to tackle this on my truck, thanks for the video💪🏻
ofcourse, as long as if it helps people. you welcome!
Did u git er done @jodan Lanier? Results Please and Thank you
Great step-by-step instructions. I do however recommend using the right tools, such as dedicated wrenches for nuts, hose clamp pliers instead of channel locks and retaining clip removers instead of screwdrivers for plastic clips.
Thank you for the feedback
i also agree.
One day I'll get some hose clamp pliers, then I'll never need to remove the hoses again😂😂😂😂😂😂
Was your truck overheating before you changed the water pump
i think the temp. was going up, or i think it was just leaking thats why we replaced it. it is not my truck.
how long did this take from start to finish 100%?
It should take you anywhere from 2-3.5 hours . I don’t remember exactly how long it took me , proble around 3 or 4 hours . Because I was taking my time and I was also recording it . But if you know what you are doing and you have the right tools it should be anywhere from 2-3 hours.
Where did you buy your parts from? As well what were all the tools that you needed to do this?
I beilive i bought it at Autozone, im sure most of auto parts should have it. tool? i dont remember, just look at the video and im sure you can see what i used, nothing special just some hand tools and screw drivers. o yeah , its also nice to have a special tool for clips, to take clips off, i didnt have it at the moment, but now i do. blessings to you. theres also Part 2 and 3 , because the video was too long, so i made 3 parts videos.

about 2-3.5 hours it depends if you know what you are doing and if you have the right tools. proble took me 3.5 to 4 hours, because i had to record it too.
Thanks that was helpful
you welcome, glad i can help, be blessed :)
So why the green regular antifreeze? Pretty sure OAT fluid is required for this truck...color of cranberry juice.
Thank you for the feedback
Thanks for the help!

Glad my videos help people. Thank you for the offer, but im not interested, take care .

you might be right but on mine it was how i showed but it can very from truck to truck. and also if its rusty can make difference too.
What tool?
@@alfredomuela1581 they make a tool you can rent that has 2 pins that go in the pulley holes so you can hold it from rotating
Thanks bro!
you welcome, glad i can help
l like the video
THANK YOU!
I never saw you pull the old one off... Why?
theres second part #2 video ruclips.net/video/V87xEMMw2Ks/видео.html and also #3 video ruclips.net/video/0OJILo8iPFc/видео.html
Would if been really helpful if you could if showed us getting the parts off rather than switching to it being off
i did took it off , and also there are 2 more parts to this video. Part#2 ruclips.net/video/V87xEMMw2Ks/видео.html / and part #3 ruclips.net/video/0OJILo8iPFc/видео.html
@@dimascartechgreat video my man. Step by step instructions ya can’t beat
Bro you didn’t even disconnect the battery..
That would be always a good idea, thank you for the tip.
For the water pump, you don’t have to. It’s unnecessary.
"oh yeah I gotta change the water pump. Better disconnect the battery"
Lol that sounds so stupid
Thanks for the video but it hasn't been a Dodge since 2009
what do you mean? it hasnt been.
@@dimascartech 2009... Dodge put out only cars, minivans and SUVs. Pickup trucks and professional vehicles became known under the RAM make.
@@theguyinthesuit903 Dont know too much about this, but thank you for the information
@@dimascartech it's really bad marketing on the part of FCA. Datsun became Nissan and almost overnight people called it.. a Nissan.
I know tons of people that still call them dodge my dad has a 2019 ram 1500 he still call a dodge the guys I work with on the railroad still call them dodge it's not a big deal.
Who would put that on their hood. Ridiculous
