"Quick and easy." My 7 hours of hard work and pain say otherwise. I do everything on my vehicles myself yet i will NEVER do this again and if i have to i am just taking it to the shop. That was the hardest shit I've ever done.
I paid & 300 for replace water pump and thermostat. But now I hear a noise when I hit the pedal gas. What can be?
Nice "non babble" information. Fixing to give one of these a whirl, nice heads up. Doesn't look to bad.
I subscribed just because you were right to the point and also gave your opinion on what could be done if given the chance and for good measure
Great vid, man. I already know how to do a water pump but thought I should get a quick peek to see if there's anything unusual or tricky on a 3.8, picked yours because it was short. So many help vids out there poorly edited or way too much blah blah. No nonsense was perfect.
The impeller disintegration is caused by the garbage GM Dex-cool coolant. Smart owners flush that junk and replace with good ol ethylene glycol green coolant.
No need to dismount the PS pump! There are holes in the PS pump pulley that you pass the socket extension thru to access that one WP bolt.
how much would this job cost? i have a 99 lumina ltz with the same motor. it never overheats. soon as the temp needle hits the middle, it starts to go back down.but i smell a lil bit of coolant after a drive. the low coolant light has been tweaking for 3 days. i checked and the proper amount of coolant was there. it only has 87k. i subbed to your channel as well.
5-minute water pump replacement damn you're fast man lol
