Thank you for the detail of the job.
Thanks, it’s really not a hard job, but this vid was a big help. It’s nice going in knowing what you have ahead of you. Just did this on a 98 durango 318.
Same engine, 91 Dakota..That’s a lot of work though..
can be the next kilmer guy on cable that is key board and spelling bad keep up the great work
nice the way u show more detail than most it really helps out the one just learning how too fix their own cars i been working on old school and you show me some new thanks great job may u cant be the next kilmer
im not sure where its leaking from. all i know that the radiator and hoses are good.. but is there any other place that anti-freeze can leak from besides the water pump?
Besides the tack spray, did you use any sealant?
Hey Will, I took my 1994 Dodge Ram to a mechanic to get looked at a few weeks back because it kept overheating on me. At first he said the thermostat was bad. So I had him replace it with a new one. The problem is my truck was still doing the same thing. I took it to him again and he said it was the radiator. So now I have a new radiator and a new thermostat and my truck is STILL OVERHEATING and is seriously pissing me off. Do you think it might be the water pump? I really need help on this
Thank you for the informative video. I am smack dab in the middle of doing a water pump on my 1996 318 magnum. The only thing i did which you did not ( and now I wish I hadn’t) was I took off the coil pack and the idler pulley. Live and learn, and yes, when I was younger and NOT 50 years old, working on cars and stuff was much easier on the back. bending over the engiine bay with a messed up back sucks!
Thank you for this video, helped 100%
I am doing the timing chain, radiator, upper and lower hose, water pump and a coolent temp sending unit…ugh today shall be a long day!
You made it easy for me. Thanks for making this video
working on my 1992 dodge dakota 3.9 v6 magnum is it good practice to change the thermostat at the same time I do the water pump?
I am doing this repair tomorrow on a dodge ram van with this same engine . I was wondering if you know where I can find a walk through for this as I am wondering about what i need to do with the ac lines as they are in the way of getting to the water pump. This vid has been greatly helpful by the way and excellently done. Great work and thank you.
My dad and brother who are mechanics, say the same exact thing. I find it silly, but it is understandable.
Thank you Very much , I believe this vid will help me greatly. GREAT VID!
I thought the long bolts had to have silicon or thread sealer on them when you reassemble?
This is professionally made. Great work and very comprehensive.
way to go, eric the car guy would be proud. this was really helpful. I imagine there may have been a struggle getting the hose back on where you replaced the clamp. Was wondering where the other end of that hose went to? The one on the top of the water pump that you had difficulty removing after you removed all of the bolts? thanks for posting
Great job,But whenever you replace a water pump you should change out the thermostat too.
Thank you for doing this. It’s a little easier on my Ram. More room.
is there a tool that exists to remove stubborn hoses and that doesnt mess them up like a pair of pliers or screw driver would?
That works as well
I often ask the same questions, some people are more than capable however just don’t want the hassle, 2 of my best costumers are industrial mechanics that work on machines all day however don’t want to be bothered working on their cars, my old man is a master auto tech and has me service his cars, he says its one thing to do work for others, however he would rather pay me when it comes to his own, when im his age i may feel the same way lol
Thank you
lol could always use a second hand, thank you
Thank you, and your more than welcome
Very good video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thanks.
