Just used your tutorial to replace mine. This was easy to follow and you covered key points that if unmentioned would have made this an aggravating process. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
This is exactly the video I needed. You didn't skip steps assuming I would just *know* little details. You showed the whole process and provided little tips that I know will make my life easier in a few minutes when I start this project, lol.
Your video got me through my water pump install perfectly, so props to you and thank you👊 but... Turns out it was my thermostat housing all along that caused my leak. Hint of advice to everyone watching this video... If u have a leak be sure to check the thermostat housing. Those things are built so cheap it's insane.
My 05 gt is leaking after around 15 minutes of idling but the car isn’t overheating when leaking so my plan is to replace the thermostat and water pump but I will definitely check the thermostat housing beforehand thanks for the tip!
Awesome. The bearing in mine is about to go out so I'll be tackling this Monday when the stores re-open. Another thing, the serpentine belt diagram is found on the underside of the hood on the cars.
Will be great if you add in the video description the list of materials/tools that you used, with a direct link to buy it. It's just an idea. Good video
Those thermostat housings are cheap!! I went through 3 within a couple years. Found a guy on eBay who fabricates then in aluminum and bought one for like 160.00.. haven't had to replace it since..
how many gallons of coolant (premixed) do I need to fill it back up ? I am going to change water pump and a couple pulleys and an all aluminum thermostat housing all at once on my 05 plus a couple hoses and new belt.
Very good presentation. However I would like to correct some items, the diagram of the belt pully can be found in your owners manual. Also the V6 s197 mustang does not have an aluminum head, the material is Cast Iron.
Thanks for the video. I'm about to do this same replacement. I wonder why you didn't replace the clamps with screw clamps so you didn't have to fight the spring tension.
the first thing I did is I trashed those clamps and installed a threaded ones with the screw, like the ones on the air intake. They are called house clamps for a reason
Great vid and thanks so much for the help! You’re one of the first I’ve come across to put emphasis on the bolts going BACK in the same housing holes they came out of. So many times I’ve been lucky on that kinda stuff until.......”^##^€!£+
Yikes. RTV and a gasket... Number one red flag. Number two red flag was adding the AF and putting the cap straight on and starting... You should always leave the cap off and turn your heat on full blast to cycle it and get some extra air out before putting the cap on, and checking it after about 20 miles of driving.
During the distillation process, water is vaporized into its gaseous phase, so all its impurities are left behind. ... As it chemically removes electrons from the metals of cooling system components, distilled water eventually does extreme damage that could lead to cooling system failure.
Nice video. I'm doing my water pump this weekend. Also have you considered switching to a aluminum thermostat housing? I just changed mine out from the cheap plastic. That's where I thought it was leaking last weekend but then it kept leaking and looked at the water pump. Mine also has about 150k on it. Seems like it goes out right at that mark!
How can I now if my water pump is not working? My mustang get overheated, i change thermostat, coolant is good , no leaking , fan is working , i check the head gasket and it's good ! Do you think that's the water pump ?
One more note I had to add-my daughter made a good point: “Daddy, they should let the hose company make water pumps instead-the rubber hoses outlasted the metal pump..”. What can I say-she kinda has a point...
if my car has a check engine light on and it says it's the PCV valve, tube, and grommet, will changing the water pump help at all or just a waste of time?
I replaced the water pump and the thermo housing and it still leaks. I've done the water pump x3 times already and I can't get a seal. One of my original 8mm screws broke while I was tighten it (always kept in mind your advice on not going too tight) replaced 3 with new bolts and still leaks. Any ideas from anyone ? I so regret doing this myself I should have just taking it to a shop. My mustang has been sitting in the garage for 6 months due to this and I'm ready to call a tow and pay the consequences.
I have the same issue to I replaced the thermostat housing thinking it was that after I replaced I noticed leaking coming from the water pump around the gasket oh well
@@freddy_v.2565 same, I just installed new radiator, I just bought the thermostat housing and turns out it's the water pump. Oh well might as well replace everything
Eli HernandeZ an hour sounds pretty sweeettt, its Friday I need my car buahhh I'm gonna give this a try hope I don't mess up, looks pretty straight forward, where's your get your part from?
Jesus bless you and your family. I followed your instructions to the letter and avoided a serious financial hardship.

Thanks! Today July 12 2021 I replaced the water pump, the 8 mm tool was a great idea for the one between the Tube line !
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I fixed my water pump
Sunil Gurung i doubt that you fixed it, you most likely replaced it, what you've fixed is the leak 👌
Bro i wished i would have found you a month ago cause i went through thermostasts and housings good directional vid you saved my Pegasus
Great video! I’m getting ready to do mine soon.
Excellent video. Thank you.

“This hose is giving me issues.” 😊 Me, too. Good vid, thanks.

I think you meant the block is cast iron... the heads are aluminum.
Hey bro after i drain my antifreeze i just dump it in my garden. Protein 😂😂😂
Thanks for the video. I'm about to do this same replacement. I wonder why you didn't replace the clamps with screw clamps so you didn't have to fight the spring tension.
Great video. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for the info. This is a great video. Very detailed. 👍
Did the whole job with needle nose pliers for the clamps, got all the way done and found one bolt that never made it back into the new water pump….
the first thing I did is I trashed those clamps and installed a threaded ones with the screw, like the ones on the air intake. They are called house clamps for a reason
Yup! Thats how I roll too. I hate those pinch clamps.
I just got mine
Very good informative video. Thank you.
Men this help me a whole lot better thanks keep up the great work 😎👊
The pot wouldnt fit 😂😂😂 exiting video now.
So what all do i need if im going to replace my water pump? Just the water pump and a jug of antifreeze?
Very helpful. Thank you

Perfect pour by the way
Thanks for this great video.
What is the tightening torque of the pump bolts?
And why put dough when there is a joint?
Thanks,
Perfect
The plastik thermostathousing at 03:00 is an absolut mess I had to change mine like twice so far. 3rd time I bought the aluminium one, I recommend it.

I messed up and got all the screws off except the ones where the water pump spindle is. So frustrated.
How can I now if my water pump is not working? My mustang get overheated, i change thermostat, coolant is good , no leaking , fan is working , i check the head gasket and it's good ! Do you think that's the water pump ?
“Dont be cookin no food when putting antifreeze in”
Your not my dad😊
I had to re use my metal gasket the new paper type gasket insteadily melted an start leaking
