I am a mechanic and do this for a living and just wanna say this is a very well detailed video for anyone out there looking to do this job themselves. It’s actually one of the best videos on here. I already knew how to do this but I enjoy watching stuff like this l. Great Job You Wrench!!
Thx for the video. I’ll be doing this to my 3.6 in a 2017 Pacifica as soon as new pump arrives. I was an Aerospace Ground Equipment mechanic in the USAF for 24 years….thank God I got some wrench turning experience because this one looks fun.

Getting ready to replace water pump on 2017 Chrysler Pacifica - although this is a different vehicle, the advice is helpful. ANY videos out there that do the water pump replacement for the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica? I'm going to change out thermostat, upper and lower hoses, and look at the belt and belt tensioner.
I love how detailed your videos are. 👏👏👏 just found a leak under the van in that area so I’m going to jack the van up and check under there. Do you know how often the timing needs to be changed? I bought the van with 125,000 miles on it and I don’t know if it’s ever been changed and the van’s at 156,473 miles. I feel confident in changing the water pump but not the timing. If I need to do the timing, I’m guessing to let the repair shop do both. Any way to check the timing belt/chain?

As much as is involved in replacing the water pump it's always best to replace the idler pulley, all hoses, the belt tensioner and the belt. If you replace all of these parts, you're better off in the long run! Don't skimp on parts that are hard to get at in the first place. Stick with high quality parts or you may have to do the job again in a year and pay twice.
You may want to replace the plastic crossover with the aluminum replacement while u have the motor mount off. It will crack and leak antifreeze eventually. It’s a common failure thus the aluminum replacement. The aluminum replacement from dorman runs about $50 on rock auto.
Thank you for your videos. Wondering if you could possibly help me. I have a 2013 caravan leaking lots of coolant from the driver side of the engine. Can't find the leak. Have replaced the 2 heater hose sets. Coolant is all over top of transmission case and motor mount near radiator and all over driver side control arm. Thanks for any help
Very detailed helpful video. But boy when you started it up near the end that sounded like rocker arm ticking. Maybe it’s just the way the mic picks up engine sound. Or maybe it’s time for a video on rocker arm replacement. Lol.

That’s an indication of a bad oil cooler. It sits right in the middle of the block under the intake. Water, and oil run through it, and when bad it will build up, and leak down the middle towards the transmission side. You can do it DIY. Not too bad of a job. Hope this helps. -LG

Came across just one issue torquing the motor mount top plate. In parentheses shows 60 NM to ft pounds is 83ft lbs. However 60nm is only 44 ft lbs. Might want to correct that so nobody snaps their bolts. Other than that great video thanks for the help.
I'll add I had a air lock in the coolant system when finished. wasn't getting heat. all you have to do is drop the top heater core hose going into the cabin. once fluid flows reconnect. I think you added this may need to be done just adding bottom connection doesn't work, air is stuck at top.
Thank you for this. I recently replaced my right engine mount and then saw this video. I am so glad you are right I did not want to have to go back and re-torque it to 83. I went back and checked the service repair manual and it is indeed 44ft pounds. Thank goodness
Is that an OEM water pump that you are installing? Thanks for all of your videos. Thank you for Canadian links (not loving the look of the amazon water pump though) Good Job!
Thank you, glad you are enjoying our videos!

My van started overheating today. The radiator was bone dry and I found out I have a leak. Both the water pump and a/c looked pretty bad and with a lot of old oil on the A/C. Do you suggest to buy the kit to figure out the leak first before I start replacing anything?
Hey there! Yes, the best bet would be to try fixing the leak issue first, then refilling with coolant and testing. Best case scenario it was just the leak and everything still works perfectly! Worst case, other components would need to be replaced too, and if you drain the coolant into a clean container you can reuse it so you won't 'lose' anything as such.

Similar happened to me yesterday in sub-zero F weather, I had assumed sticking thermostat from codes "thermostat illogic", and slow warm-up. Waiting for employer to let me have time off to fix. Red lightning bolt symbol popped up on dashboard - I assumed it meant electrical problem so I drove the remaining 2 miles to get home. Apparently it means overheat!
In the video, the size of the bolts that are used to remove the water pump are: Two size 13 bolts Three size 16 bolts One size 13 bolt Four size 10 bolts The size of the bolts that are used to remove the idler pulley are: One size 10 bolt The size of the bolts that are used to remove the engine mount are: Two size 13 bolts Four size 16 bolts
Yeah his torque specs are incorrect for the engine at 28:32. Caused me to shear a motor mount bolt. His conversion shows 83 foot pounds. Newtons to ft pounds would leave a smaller number of foot pounds than newtons. the correct spec is 45 foot pounds. Please edit the specs to correct them so no one else shears theirs.
Sorry to hear that. We have actually already added a Correction to this video for precisely what you mentioned. This was done several weeks ago when we first spotted the mistake. It will appear onscreen in the top right hand corner 'Correction' and you can click to review the correction (which is also in the video description). Ideally we would like the details of the correction to appear onscreen rather than just the word 'Correction', but we are unable to control that factor as that is TH-cam's process for Corrections currently. This is a current limitation of the TH-cam system. We hope that the video proved useful for you (apart from that part!!) 👍
Man, you did that the hard way. You could have just removed the harmonic balancer with just a 27mm bolt & not had to mess with the AC compressor at all.

@finley614 My 2019 GC has 75,000 miles on it. How long can I expect the water pump to last?
You are definitely one of the best fix it tutorial creators I've seen yet. Thank you for your thoughtful way of instructing and explaining every step!
The gentle mechanic!
Really like your procedure of putting bolts in new pump as you remove them. Very smart.
Thank you! Always a good idea when dealing with bolts of different length or sizes on the same unit!! :-)

I just did it on my 2015 caravan thanks for the detail explanation 🎉
Grateful for this walk through. Covers everything. Only issue I had was being under the big tube when i pulled it off. Nice face full of antifreeze.
Encouraged me to tackle it myself. Very nice video, very well explained in great detail

Would a bad water pump cause coolant to pool on top of the block and run to the right side of the vehicle?

That’s an indication of a bad oil cooler. It sits right in the middle of the block under the intake. Water, and oil run through it, and when bad it will build up, and leak down the middle towards the transmission side. You can do it DIY. Not too bad of a job. Hope this helps. -LG

In the video, the size of the bolts that are used to remove the water pump are:
Two size 13 bolts
Three size 16 bolts
One size 13 bolt
Four size 10 bolts
The size of the bolts that are used to remove the idler pulley are:
One size 10 bolt
The size of the bolts that are used to remove the engine mount are:
Two size 13 bolts
Four size 16 bolts
Is the spec for top motor mount really 81 ft lbs?
No it’s not. 60nm is 40 foot/lbs. Cracked a bolt due to this.
Can u do this job without removing the engine mount
No. He said that the engine mount is bolted ontop of the water pump
It’s a stupid design
Yeah his torque specs are incorrect for the engine at 28:32. Caused me to shear a motor mount bolt. His conversion shows 83 foot pounds. Newtons to ft pounds would leave a smaller number of foot pounds than newtons. the correct spec is 45 foot pounds. Please edit the specs to correct them so no one else shears theirs.
Sorry to hear that. We have actually already added a Correction to this video for precisely what you mentioned. This was done several weeks ago when we first spotted the mistake. It will appear onscreen in the top right hand corner 'Correction' and you can click to review the correction (which is also in the video description). Ideally we would like the details of the correction to appear onscreen rather than just the word 'Correction', but we are unable to control that factor as that is TH-cam's process for Corrections currently. This is a current limitation of the TH-cam system. We hope that the video proved useful for you (apart from that part!!) 👍
@@YouWrench Do you have a video on removing sheared bolts?
Don't forget to cuss Chrysler, dodge, jeep out for that as well.
I hate that rocker arm noise
Man, you did that the hard way.
You could have just removed the harmonic balancer with just a 27mm bolt & not had to mess with the AC compressor at all.
