www.dirtyshirt.info: Water Pump Replacement, 2005 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT
The water pump on this truck began to leak and had to be replaced, watch the video to see how we did it. Bonus: Serpentine belt diagram and belt routing.
I too will have that in my bag of tricks, and laugh the next time I need it..I have an identical truck and identical repair with the water pump of which your video was immeasurably helpful. Long story short; done right on the first attempt.The only difference is I applied a thin bead of RTV sealant around the seal of the wp gasket, and the thermostat mating surfaces.Annoying coolant leak and overheat at idle issue solved.
+Jacob Wheeler We agree Jacob. Chris K. is an automotive technician with loads of experience and he advises us on certain issues. While we'd love to take credit for being geniuses that little short-cut comes from him. The first time we saw it done we reacted just like you did. Like OMG! We've used it on every huge, stuck, nut we can find.
thanks for this video! Just replaced the water pump on my 07 5.7l 1500 SLT
USING your tips and only changed 3 things based on personal preference
which was I drained it by the drain valve on the radiator , I already had
a spanner tool which I used in place of the impact wrench idea (genius by
the way) also I had a new water pump so instead of a cardboard template I
took 1 bolt out and placed it in the same slot in the new one and once I
pulled the old pump I then transferred them all to the old pump and that
then became my guide/template for putting each one back correctly!
Thanks again...... btw it was 2.5 hours which also included me changing the
oil and filter while I was getting messy anyways :)
oh it also took a bit of time to get the antifreeze circulation to be air
free but after about 10 minutes it took all the fluid and didn't overflow
and the heater core was no longer girgling!
Outstanding video - - nice job.
Getting ready to do mine this weekend; I have the same coolant leak.
I was planning on coating the gasket and aluminum mating surfaces with a
thin layer of Permatex water pump gasket sealer .. a black paste that comes
in a tube.
Any reason why it wouldn't be a good idea to do this?
Thanks for the kind words Gary. We discussed your Permatex plans and to be honest we're not sure. Although none of us felt it would hurt anything we also agreed that it's probably not necessary (we used no gasket sealer). Our impression of the gasket that came with the part was that it was high quality and the design seems superior to the old flat style gaskets that require sealer.We believe the best thing you can do for your project it to correctly torque the pump bolts by establishing a tightening pattern and working the pressures up in two passes until the final torque specification is reached.Best wishes on your project.

DIY - How to Replace a Serpentine Belt on a Chevy Blazer, S10, GMC Jimmy, Sonoma, 4.3 L Vortec
This video walks through a serpentine belt replacement on Chevy \ GMC truck or SUV. This is a relatively easy maintenance task that is often overlooked on ...
Thanks so much for the tip about inserting the belt on the left side of the
fan. Yours is the only video that includes that vital information. That's
the only way to route the belt around the water pump correctly. I wish I
had known that when first attempting to replace the belt; it would have
saved me a lot of time spent trying to figure it out.
my belt squeaks it doesn't get louder when i give it gas and it goes away
for a couple seconds when i spray water on the non ribbed side what could
cause this? the idler pulley doesn't wiggle when i try to make it so idk
what it is water pump?
It would be a big help to get rid of that pos fan and put a electric fan on
it. I'm using a factory dual fan off a 02 concord on my 00 s10 4.3 and it
has been the best thing I've done to it.
As easy as changing a serpentine belt is, I still used another one of your
videos as a reference to maintain my blazer, thanks again! My next task is
changing the speed sensor on the front right wheel, I haven't found a good
video for this yet, and have never done one, should be fun :)
Post a vid for the rest of us! Actually, are you talking the ABS sensor? If so, you might be able to get a good look at it on my ball joint vid. I'd have to look becuase I usually try to keep the vids somewhat short by editing stuff out. I know sometimes slop the bearing can cause the ABS to do it's thing. A new bearing assembly should have a new sensor pre installed. Thanks for takkng the time to leave a comment!
