This video shows how to install a water pump on a GM 4.8L / 5.3L V8 rear wheel drive vehicle. It is not representative of all RWD water pump installations and water pumps will vary in appearance. Please refer to your vehicle manufacturer for specific details on replacing your water pump.
There's no need to remove the idler pulley. Would have been nice to mention about removing the fan, the most difficult part of the the job.
its an electric fan truck
Your the 100th person to say this. My 05 Silverado as well as the truck in the video have electrically powered rad fans. No rhyme or reason to ever remove them for this job.
Yup. My 05 has an electric fan, but my 01 has a mechanical fan, a pain in the rear to remove
@@lukeduke6634yeah but every other year mentioned has a manual fan.
With the belt still on, place a large adjustable wrench or vice grip on the nut, and firmly smack it with a rubber mallet, without hitting the fan blades. I got one that had never been removed off a 20 year old truck easily. The threads are normal, so smack from your right to left. Or just rent the tool that locks the pulley in place from an auto parts chain store, but that creates extra steps.
Thanks for the video. I was almost positive I could do it, but I wanted to double check a tutorial, to make sure I didn't get halfway through and forget something crucial. Yours was not too short, not too long and not too complicated.
It took me 3 hours, followed the directions exactly, works great, no leaks. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the compliment! It is nice to hear the video was beneficial!
Thanks for the video. I was able to do it myself without any problem. Just one note about the fan clutch: I used the clamp-down method by using a c-clamp and I used a pipe wrench to loosen the fan and it came off every easily.
How do i use the c clamp
yea wassup with the part about fan? you left the hardest part out
Dyon Leblanc just found out some come with no fans on pullley. Separate assembly.
05-06 typically come with electric fans, no mechanical fan to remove.

If you're reading the original post and saying what the heck I was there too. There are actually holes on the water pump pulley. On the face of it. You can take a wire coat hanger run it through the hole, and twist tie it around the (framing) if the alternator. That will hold the pulley still. Then take a 2lb sledge if you have one, and either an adjustable wrench, or plumbers wrench and whack said wrench with the hammer and it will bust loose. I provided a video to help. One video is a guy who does one with a fan, and the other is a guy who shows you how to keep the fan from spinning.
Lol. Dont mind him...
Yeah man removing the fan was the hardest part, but all I did was get a giant crescent wrench on there and hit it super hard super fast I was able to break it free. It unscrews to the left if you are standing in front of the truck. I didn't use any special tools but I think there might be a special tool that holds the pully in place using the four holes in
Should of shown how you took the fan off that's the hardest part lol
Rent the wrenches for free from AUTOZONE and save yourself a lot of heartache.
Just use a pipe wrench, put over nut on fan clutch and hit counter clockwise until it loosens up mine took about 6 hits with a 24 oz hammer and then it broke loose. This is if yo I haven't already done it. 1999 Silverado Z71
Came here just to say this lol
Sir this particular 5.3 has electric fans, notice the Rusty look on the threads in front of the water pump pulley. On the Vortec motor on that year was a hit or miss between clutch fan or electric fans I hope this helps you sir
@@cyrusleo2029 lmao no it doesn’t all 99-07 5.3 have manual fans.
Excellent Video, Very concise , easy to understand and straight to the point.
thank You.
Thanks for the compliments!
your video is exceptionally instructive, it got me the confidence i needed to accomplish the task at hand, God bless you, keep up the good work to help others, pass it on.
Why did he fail to say what the water pump mounting bolts torque specs were?
This is a great video thank you. Have to ask.... whats up with all the haters and people who are obviously too smart to be watching a video for assistance in the comments! Lol wth. Nicely done.
Your videos are excellent, thank you!
Learned a lot. Thanks
Great video. Short and to the point.
I enjoyed the video ... Can those hose clamps be removed with pliers? I though Dexcool is not recommended by some mechanics but guess it goes a long way before it starts to jell up...
Matt Wallace you are the true champion for our Doge family, we all definitely appreciate you, all the hard work, long hours , and efforts you personally put in to our community, thank you so much for being the voice , and advocate of Doge leading us all to a better tomorrow where financial freedom becomes a reality pulled right out of our dreams .....

So I cannot just replace the pulley itself for my 05 gmc 5.3 v8? I have to replace the whole water pump as shown in this video?
When you turn in the truck and heater do leave the coolant reservoir cap off?
The easiest way to remove the fan if you can’t get it off with a wrench and hammer is to remove the water pump with the fan and wedge something behind the pully once you have it out and remove the fan that way
What's the name of the song that Way when I'll change mine I'll put it on
I have a small leak around my water pump. Is there a simple way to tell if it's the gasket or if I need to replace the whole pump?
Also, seeing the convo about the coolant types a few comments down reminded me... I went to buy some more coolant (due to the slow leak) and Adanced Auto Parts didn't have any Dex Cool. They told me the universal 50/50 was fine. That my 2005 Avalanche used to require Dex Cool but now that universal stuff will do just fine.
Is the universal 50/50 coolant fine for my Avalanche? If not, could it be contributing to the leak/cooling problems I've been having?
Wat tools would I need to use to remove the water pump
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. Stumped. Have replaced water pump twice with new water pumps. Both time it has/is leaking from where the top hose/pipe connects to the water pump. After the truck warms up, coolant starts to slowly pool from where the “shiny” part of the water pump goes into the actual pump. Have tripled checked if the coolant is coming from the hose. It is not. Seems to be the seal from where the “shiny” pipe connects to the water pump on top.
Going to try one more….any ideas?
Try a different brand if possible? And check for restrictions. Maybe flush water through the various hoses while the thermostat and everything else is disconnected and make sure it flows freely out the opposite side.
@@MoneyManHolmes thanks! Installing water pump #3 this weekend. Different brand, different provider. I will double check the flow of everything before reinstalling. Fingers crossed!
3rd time was the charm. Purchased AutoZone/Duralast…repeated the install for the 3rd time and worked perfectly. 1A auto refunded my money for their defective water pumps. Looks like the machining/stamping is flawed. Total pain in the neck…but worked out in the end.
Great Video, thanks.
How much distilled water and antifreeze should I add ?
would have been nice if you had mentioned the part about the fans at the start of the video. Now I have to reinstall the old pump to knock the fan collar off the pump.
My fan clutch is always super loud especially when it's hot I changed the fan clutch twice could this be the problem?
Just needed the tool sizes. Thanks for nothing.
I bet your mommy cuts the crust off your pbj for you
I have a 2005 chevy avalanche . The problem in having is that I have to put water in my truck every two to 3 days. I'm guessing it's my pump. Do you think that's the problem? If it is around how much would be for labor.
Ok I'm pretty sure that's going to be the problem. Thanx alot for ur video and for replying.
Thank you so much for shorts sweet and to-the-point and not explaining what hose clamps are what they're used for where they came from and how the weather is outside. And how your wife's uncle's cousin's brother is the reason why the pumps out that bastard..lol🙏🤘🤣
You mentioned to replace it with 50/50 coolant AND distilled water. That's a mistake! Lol. But I'm sure no one caught that.
Actually most mechanics recommend not using dexcool
He meant a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. He just failed to mention straight coolant or coolant concentrate. No big deal!. Great vid
He said " and fill the system with 50/50 blend of coolant and distilled water". That literally means 50% coolant and 50% distilled water. He didn't say (50/50 coolant) and distilled water. He says a 50/50 blend OF coolant AND distilled water. That is 100% correct. Anyone with any mechanical knowledge at all would know that means use either straight coolant and mix with water to a ratio of 50/50... or just fill entirely with the pre-blended stuff with no water.
Great video...
Dear Air tech I'm electrician engineer.
Please I need your guidance
love your video and think it is very good for someone who is a little scared of doing it as I am not but think that there are some real donkeys replying to this and they are not to smart only smart axx so nice job
Is there anything you have to do with timing on the water pump belt?
Great video. Makes the job look easy. What do you suggest to flush the system besides water?
All auto parts stores will have flush kits available. While I can't suggest one over another, the critically important thing is to actually flush the system and drain it prior to the repair. Then fill with fresh, clean, properly mixed coolant/antifreeze.
great video!
hello,
after replacing the water pump and thermostat my temperature gauge goes pass the normal readind 210 only when its ideling after about 2 to 3 minute it goes back to normal, any ideas bled the air out of the system a few times over and over. 2007 silverado 1500 4.8
What are the torque specs for the 6 retaining bolts on the water pump?
22 ft lbs. Make an initial pass at 132 inch pounds.
No video of removing the fan.
Love how you say nothing bout the fan removal. That's a very crucial part.
This particular vehicles has electric fans. Yes, it would have been nice if it was equipped with a mechanical fan. Our apologies.
05-06 models typically come with electric fans
So in order to bleed out the system, do we turn the heater on high? And if so, for how long?
Angolz Tapz run its till it’s up to temp that’s all. Then top off if needed. I check mine again after I’ve taken it for a ride the next day or whatever just to be sure has the bubbles can take a while they work their way out sometimes. That goes for any vehicle pretty much.
Is this the same with a 4.8 liter?
where can I find a video on how to replace a oil pump in a 2005 Chevy Silverado
I Got a 2005 tahoe 5.3l
It needs a water pump
It had a thermostat housing type that you could interchange just the thermostat itself and keep your old housing " if you wanted too of course" I guess it's called a 2 piece design??
To replace that type of thermostat and housing would have been close to $50 bucks..
So I bought the other style
It's the thermostat and housing made together.
Im stuck in the snow at the time of making this comment. I'm hoping this will work and not leak when I put it on.
Also, ive bought a new water pump.
The two gaskets that came with the water pump are not paper...
They are metal looking with rubber?
I've seen some videos of people using these types of metal looking gaskets without putting black RTV silicon on them.
But I've also heard that these will leak and to always use paper gaskets with rtv on pump and on thermostat housing like you did in the video...
I bought a tourqe wrench..
Something I've never used..
I've ALWAYS...just tightened down bolts till I felt like they were good to go.
Im reading that its 11 and then 22 ft.lbs on the 6 water pump bolts.
11 ft.lbs on the thermostat housing.
And either 18 or 37 ft.lbs ...not sure which one...on the pulley bolts that mount to the water pump?
What happened to removing the shroud and fan?
Pretty sure this model is equipped with electric fans.
Most 05-06 models come with electric fans
Hey I followed every step. Now my 2005 suburban overheats every 10 minutes. I changed the water pump due to a leak. What can I do?
Now it is a matter of doing some diagnostics. Is all the air bled from the system? Is the radiator cap holding pressure?Is the belt routed correctly? If equipped with electric fans are they connected and functioning. If equipped with a mechanical fan and clutch is the clutch engaging or is it beyond its life expectancy? Is the radiator clear and allowing the coolant to properly flow? Is the thermostat functioning correctly, installed correctly? I'll leave it at that for now. Lets hope one of the above resolves the issue.
Weres the fan??????
Why didn’t you show how to remove the fan?
The truck in the video has an electric fan, which is not attached to the engine.
How do you get the fan off the pump?
Its electrical fan
Hello, I have a silver 5.3 2000 and boil the water, I already rectified the cylinder heads and changed gaskets, radiator and water pump and it still does not fix what the problem may be
marcelovargast ever figure it out? And are you losing coolant?
I’d like to see what it was too, cracked head would be my guess. What did you find ?
May I ask which gasket sealer you use?
Use gloves duh
2005 gmc half ton pickup, sierra...engine size unsure).
I am getting a drip under my water pump, big when pressurized, small and consent when
I open the reservoir cap, (relieving any pressure). (engine off), although it is still a constant leak. It seems to level off on the temp when driving, although, i can only assume it is still dripping the small drip. (If I fill the reservoir)
It seems to leak from all over,in front and behind the pump location), when engine is hot and at a stop light, or just parked
Question: Could this be a bad water pump?, hoses are just fine throughout. Can a water pump go bad and still leak, while still maintaining mechanical efficiency...
Not sure where to turn, it seems to be leaking from all over, in front and behind the pump location on the engine. do you know of any other common leak points in this motor, besides hose connections and/ or water pump???
Thanks for any advise.
A pressure test of the cooling system should help pinpoint the leak. While any connection to the pump; heater hose tubes, thermostat housing, can leak it is most likely the pump itself. Yes, a pump with a failed seal and bearing can continue to function. The question is... For how long?
I recommend repairing the leak immediately.
@@AirtexFuelPumps what about the fan? How do you remove the fan.
Friend. I have a problem with my silverado 2005, V6. in cool weather I have hot air in my passenger side and cool air on my driver side. do you know what is the problem? can you help me on this.
had the same problem
can you show me where they are. or how can I check it please.
my truck did that... 04 chev silverado... i did everything thing before i found a video on the tube that had me totake out my HVC fues under the hood and turn the switch on a couple of times but do not start the engine, then put it back in and start, something made a funny noise for about 2 sec and BAMMM!!!! it stared work flawless, somebody comment and said it did a reset.....save me a bunch of money

No mention of water pump lubricant?? I'm pretty sure that's important!!
So did this model not come with a fan?
Some of these vehicles did use a mechanical fan and clutch. This particular one has electric fans.
Most 05-06 models came with electric fans.
what happened to the radiator fan???
Electric ran fan. I’m quite confused as to why everyone’s asking about removing the fan?
How much for this job. Parts and labor.. thanks
Less than $200 if you do it alone
Is not fan on this truck???????
Good amigo
this ingine of 5.3 is faster or it sucjs
Showed nothing , did not say sizes of bolts or any information at all, basically said take the old one off , put new one on.
no mention of how to remove clutch fan and where is the shroud in the video. need 1 and 7/16 wrench to remove fan.
Should’ve left a tool list too
On my 5.3 it was major leaking. I removed the old pump it looked very new and it spun nicely. It had 2 aluminum gaskets i believe one blew out.
The Alumaseal did not seal it and Normally i have 99% good results..
Oh,ok
You didn't show how the fan was removed.
While many of this model is equipped with a fan and fan clutch this particular vehicle has electric fans. While not shown, it isn't that hard in theory. In reality it can be a job. the best option is to "borrow or rent" the fan clutch tools from your local parts store. It will make all the difference in the job. One tool to lock up the pulley and one to fit the fans nut.
You skipped the fan removal kind of a pointless how to bid skipping the hardest step.
To all the know-it-alls on TH-cam trying to find out how to do this and whining about the fan clutch that model doesn't have one like mine it's electric boogie boogie boogie woogie🤣🤪 2005 Yukon XL
No mention of the fan.... Hilarious
Came here to see how the fan comes off
This video makes anyone think they can just get this done in a hour or so. NOT TRUE. I got it done but it isn't as easy as this video makes it out to be!
I will never put water in my engine again. It creates rust and wears out parts. Creating the job you just watched.
That is why the flushing and filling with a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water or by using a pre-mixed coolant is so critical!
every year before winter I check my fluid, clear green, no dirt, and good to 40 below. Been going on14 years now, both my vehicles
If it is a GM product it has been changed at some point as the original Dex-Cool is a pink/red color.
I bought my 93 chevy 15 miles on it. I bought it brand new. The Camaro had 46,000 miles on it in 95. Had it since then.
Yea that's the truth, whats up with the fan😱
Not all GM's use a mechanical fans. Many, like this one, use electric fans.
@@AirtexFuelPumps ok, can u do video with a fan
@@simmons6014as much as we might like we can't make a video today. Removal of fans and clutches is pretty much the same across manufacturers. What is important is to use the proper tools to remove them. Air hammers and punches are not the correct tools. If you want to damage your new pump, air hammers are a great start.
See the following video for a Trailblazer for reference: th-cam.com/video/F4lsmRAKDWM/w-d-xo.html
@@AirtexFuelPumps Thanks Brother✌
Completely doesn’t say anything about the fan lol
Good video until you didnt film the part about the fan.

@@cmdr_stretchedguy is it not a video titled 04?
OEM gasket Does not require sealant!
I came to see how to remove the fan and he skipped it! 😂
Yeah he just skipped over all the hard parts that's why it's only 4 minutes long 😆
I liked the video, but lose that terrible music.
Came her for the fan removal. But ok
No fan on that chev I guess lol
This vehicle is equipped with electric fans. I do agree it would have been more beneficial to have one with a mechanical fan.
@@AirtexFuelPumps it's all good:). Good video thanks
Most 05-06 models came with electric fans
Skipped the fan removal, bung-hole
No real info
Do you want a cookie
Oh shit I forgot to add sealer to the engine all I add was into the pump . Oh crap
did you ever have leaks?
😂
I wanted to watch but was forced to stop by that stupid shit background music. This is a virus that has taken over youtube. So sad. Maybe there will be another online with out.
worthless guide ...
Thank you for your comment.
Great video. Thank you
