New Engine Water Pump from 1AAuto.com http://1aau.to/ia/1AEWP00230
The water pump keeps coolant flowing through your engine. Common failures of the water pump will leave the coolant leaking, or stagnant. Both will lead to overheating if left untreated. Install a new engineered to fit water pump from TRQ for total peace of mind. This video shows you how to install a TRQ water pump in your 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:

Do you have a video for 2004 Cadillac Deville?
Thank you for the vid. Very much appreciated. Will be buying new gaskets and seals from 1Aauto.
I'm so thankful for you doing this step by step. It was a pain but it was a success. Thank you again!
Nice Video young man, can you believe all that work for a water pump, so it took you 34 mins, how long will it take me !! LOL ! TY.
Where can i buy tool clamp like the one u use
Great video! Very descriptive step by step great content as always guys!
This video was a great help while doing this job. Thanks a lot to TRQ, 1AAuto, and this mechanic.
A few notes:
He mentions it later in the video, but the only way I could get the rear lower bolt was with a short 13mm wrench. I used the 12 point box end and went a bit at a time. Luckily the torque specs are low so it was easy to break free.
On my 2006, the fuel injector wire connectors are a different style. You pull up on the light grey piece, then push in the whole connector to pop it out. Not very intuitive.
When putting the cross member back in place, I used rubber bands to hold the gaskets on the bolts and then once lined up, I cut them off. That worked well. The bolts should stay in place pretty well as they seem to have a plastic sleeve inside of the cross member.
Lastly, when putting in the cross member, be sure to put the flex tube for the EGR valve into the cross member. I missed it and tried to put it in after tightening down the cross member. The end of the tube bent and caused some grief.
If you are here for overheating, check the purge pipe hollow bolt. It has a very small diameter opening and mine was clogged. I blew it out with an air compressor. I suspect that may have been the issue all along. It's documented in other videos and I should have started there. It's easy to access, so take a look at that first.
One of the two bottom bolts on both bottom areas won’t catch thread for me any ideas I literally can’t get my hands in a good enough position, trying to reinstall??
OUTSTANDING Video many thanks!
How would I know if my water pump failed I just replaced the thermostat and the coolant still isn’t circulating is that for sure the water pump
What are those 4 gaskets called. Are they upper and lower? The triangle and rectangle ones?
Is this the v8 Northstar motor? Because in another video it looks like the motor has all the pullys on the left? Im confused. Please help. 🙂
Could you please post all videos you have concerning the 2006 dts I recently purchased 1
