still shaking my head to all these terrible fan videos. Use a burp gun… a
cheap harbor freight air chisel works wonders. use a nice flat bit and put
it on the outside edge of the wrench flat (going the right direction to
loosen, some fans thread on backwards!!!!) a few quick blasts and it’s
loose. finish unthreading it. takes less than a minute. (trust me this is
how the dealership takes your fan off. they dont use that special tool.)

Can you redo this video when its not pitch black out?

daddyoca69 says:

@railroadbambi you know off the top of my head I don’t remember.. it wasn’t
that much but the gauge has it all on it marked in green then yellow then
red .. goto ebay dot com and search ” 280713927728 ” or ” 200633135554 ” or
this one.. this is in UK but I see these in stores here even walmart ”
300580511972 ” Don’t wait for shipping just buy one local they are about 10
to 20 bucks and maybe some part stores will loan you one.

daddyoca69 says:

@daddyoca69 it could also be a bad pump that never was fully on before so
you didn’t know. All AC setups have a low pressure switch that if there is
not enough freon in the system it will not allow the pump to kick on. You
may have added enough to kick on and now its coming apart … Also if its a
part you can wait on then try ebay or autozone to see if you can get it
cheaper.

i just hold the belt tight to the pump pulley with 1 hand while lossening
the fan with the other but im a 275lb gorilla good advice on the short hose
it is alot of work to do over for a small peice of hose

daddyoca69 says:

yeah ok buddy.. Sure.. Your retarded ass doesn’t even know the difference
between a Chevy and a Dodge. Oh yeah 30000 views and you the little 16 year
old baby bitch who knows everything has to try to dog me on a air cleaner
because you have no idea why I said to take it off..

daddyoca69 says:

if you know so much then you shouldn’t be here .. dumbshit

daddyoca69 says:

@Yung5499 depends on your foot…. anywhere from 14 to 19 mpg

Alex Hill says:

i heard hylamar is the best for waterpump gaskets i usually use tack gasket
though

baychecks100 says:

do you put snot on both sides or just under the gasket?

railroadbambi says:

oh no.. lets hope its overcharged,lol.. ty again, your very sweet to help
me so much.. I had a 67 f250 w 352.. best i ever had.. everything easy,
could lift the hood and practically step inside,lol.. I miss it so, had a
friend supposedly rebuilding when i went Cali to work for several months,
didnt tell me, but got it towed and kept for being abandoned when I didnt
know it needed claiming.. suxs.. you live you learn.. hopefully 🙂 and one
day I’ll have again, hopefully 🙂

krivver2 says:

its a 2000 dodge durango 5.2 if that helps

daddyoca69 says:

@railroadbambi yeah my guess… go buy a gauge and check… they have one
like a tire gauge thats only a few bucks.

daddyoca69 says:

Thats awesome! There are hundreds of ways to skin a cat and when I was
younger I might have thought I saved time by leaving the fan shroud on
etc.. but why cut the crap out of your arms and be confined into tight
spaces for 4 bolts.. but to each their own.. Glad it worked out!

shithitthefanman says:

so if you are facing the windshield……should I be turning the wrench to
MY right or to MY left to get the fan clutch off? thanks.

wafrederick says:

That fan clutch nut is on very tight from the factory and there is no way a
strap wrench will loosen it up.My way works the best.I ment hit the trigger
on the air hammer with the tip on the edge of the fan clutch nut and the
fan clutch off.Removing the radatior is not needed.I have done these
without removing the radatior.Alway replace the bypass hose and the metal
tube on the 3.9,5.2 and 5.9 waterpumps.The tube is seized in that it will
not come out.I turn wrenches for a living.

wafrederick says:

Them people on the Dodge forums are full of bs.When that fan clutch was
installed at the factory,loctite was put on the threads.I was taught the
air hammer metheod which works better than the lousy strap wrench.I even
tighten the fan clutch nut with the air hammer too being careful not to
overtighten it.Ford and GM use this too

daddyoca69 says:

@amermuscle well first look down your throttle body and inside your intake
to see if there is any oil in the bottom of your intake.. I am right now
redoing my intake gaskets because its filled with oil… major vac leaks…
I will have vids up this week.. its a known problem with 95 to 2002 with
5.2 5.9 dodges where there is a steel plate on the bottom side of the
intake and over time it blows out.. a few places even sell a kit with a
alum plate to help and some people weld theirs.

daddyoca69 says:

ok well you need to find the leak and if its behind the pulley then 99% its
the water pump…. there is a little whole in the case behind the pulley
where it starts leaking when it goes bad.. otherwise might be the rad.
hoses and you should be able to follow them to see if they are leaking

leoffensive says:

haha magnum condamns!

chihene says:

I replaced my waterpump on my 00 1500 a while back…actually the most pain
in the rear task was removing that fan nut….I took my time and was done
in 5 hours…I am not a mechanic and was pleased with my effort and
savings….your video was informative.

Chris Kennedy says:

Excellent video on magnum water pump.

daddyoca69 says:

@countryboy11855 ahh look the little baby thinks he knows everything… I
have worked on more dodge trucks than you have cars.. but keep thinking you
know it all.. you will figure out that taking shortcuts doesn’t always
work… maybe one day you will leave a wrench on top of the motor and it
slides down and hits the back of the alt.. so go wash your face off and get
back to what your good at.. make me some money little bitch

amermuscle says:

how hard is it too do timing chain and gears ?

baychecks100 says:

lol “dont fuck around” true

wafrederick says:

I have my own fan clutch wrench,called an air hammer with a long bit that
has a chiseled tip on it.Hit the trigger on the edge of the nut on the fan
clutch and the fan clutch is off.The special tool is a huge waste of
money,too thin and will break.Best place for the fan clutch wrenches is the
scrap metal pile.

I don`t know why people are bad mouthing you, but they need to realize that
not everyone is a mechanic and sometimes we go to you tube to find
something that someone has done that might help us with our projects or
something that we are working and we cannot find the solution.

bisquik3006 says:

According to DaytonaRoadster if you bought a Japanese car, you would never
have to replace any parts. EVER!

1ownjoo2 says:

@Wolvzblood If your getting 8-10mpg, you most likely have a plenum (air
intake manifold) gasket problem.. Which is common on these 5.2 and 5.9
magnum engines. Basicly when the gasket goes bad oil gets into the intake
and you start to burn oil. Causing poor gas mileage, fouling o2 sensors,
spark plugs, ect..

1ownjoo2 says:

@Wolvzblood Continued… rear end vibrates above 60mph .. differential
gears looks great.. wear pattern is excellent. yesturday in fact im leaking
engine coolant.. I found the source and it seems to be coming from the
timing cover gasket.. (coolant flows through the timing cover) so yea this
blows… so since im forced to fix that i gatta blow money and replacing
the timing chain while im there. Can never seem to save up money for
performance upgrades… always gatta fix stuff

krivver2 says:

Yup, it was the water pump. Thanks!

Wolvzblood says:

@1ownjoo2 No it’s fine. It just has a lot of miles and I have a heavy foot.
These things are terrible on gas but great to drive =)

John Poulos says:

ok I have a 2004 dodge ram 5.7 liter 1500 and they took the original fan
blade ect. off and put a electric fan in and the fan has been shorting out
on me and i had to change the water pump. We hard wired the fan to the
battery andthen ran wires for a switch to be put on. How or WHATS the
difference between the two? Im not able to find the blade and the nut to
put back on so im going to get another electric fan and put that on. What
do you think about that. I need HELP ASAP, THANKS JOHN

MuchoCocko says:

ey pendejo. thanks for showing your license plato on your video. im gonna
put de cocko es mucho in your madre, and you gonna watcho.

Wolvzblood says:

@Yung5499 I only get 8-10 MPG in my 98 1500 with the 360. I cant speak for
the diesel.

amermuscle says:

@daddyoca69 ya i know you have to replace all, i bought the comp cam double
roller chain read alot that ours are streched after 60k and makes a major
diffrence when changed out, think im pinging a bit because my timing is
streched. some people on the forum says its 2 bolts on the oil pan, doesnt
need to be dropped.only thing im worried about is not lining the new gears
up correctly
