- With ONLY 83,000 miles on it my wifes Jeep Wrangler jk started dripping some coolant from the water pump. Let's dive into this project , change the water pump and maybe this video will make it easier for you when you have to change yours.
So much value in this video, start to finish. All of your hacks and tricks may seem like common sense but will make things so much easier. Thank you for taking the time to be so detailed.
Thank you! Glad I could help
Just got my 2013 JK (with 7K miles - yes!!) so I am looking at Jeep JK content on TH-cam - great job on the repair and video...thanks!!
Awesome, enjoy it!
Mine lasted 150K! Stumbled on your video when looking for step by steps and I went with factory pump from Jeep. Thank you!
Thanks, glad I could help
I went to Jeep for a thermostat, parts guy told me they are back order with no eta on restocking and that they have just been using AutoZone for the thermostat, he even called AutoZone to cross reference the part number for me. Sadly this makes me frustrated when so many jeepers say stick to oem just to have the oem tell me they use china parts. With that said I went with an O’RILEY thermostat and water pump. I had already replaced the thermostat several times thinking it was bad parts. Turns out the water pump was my issue. No signs of leaking or squealing but when removed there was play in the bearing. New O’RILEY water pump to match thermostat and problem is gone.
Thanks for the video! I used it as step x step instructions and had no problems. I work for Gates (not automotive) so thanks for the shout out! Only issue I had was getting an angle on the tensioner. Local auto parts store loans out a serpentine belt tool but I had to get it from the bottom and someone else put the belt on. This video was so much help!
Thank you ,glad you enjoyed it
Replaced mine over the weekend. It hadn’t failed. The thermostat housing did. But due to being right close to 100k miles I went ahead and replaced it as well.
That was a wise move.
Thanks you for the video. I have a 2015 JKU I love but it's like a problem child. Always something bugging. I enjoy when the check engine light isn't on but am always planning for the next fix.
Thanks for the great video. My wife jeep we bought a week ago,I noticed the water pump was leaking when doing a leveling kit to it. 2015 jk with 65000.
You're welcome
Awesome video and very helpfull ❤
Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to help out the community. Well done.
Thanks, glad I could help
Awesome video, best one out there on how to change a water pump on pentastar JKs. Helped me plow through my water pump change.
Thanks. A lil video goes a long ways and helps alot of people.
Ordered ac delco idler pulleys online to save some money over Mopar as I was doing the water pump too - they are way too big - oh well back together she goes - after changing the oil cooler a month ago I can tear down pretty quick to get at all this now so I’ll just do it all over again when they come in.
Thanks for the video.
It took me about 3.5 hours to complete. It's a lot of work, but it's not hard.
Huge Thanks 👍 This is an amazingly helpful video.
Glad I could help
Great video! I'm about to do this on my 15 JKUR with 90k miles.
Mine just went at 90k sighhhhhhhh. Thanks for the vid! I'll be using
What a shame that you had to replace the water pump so soon! I own a 2015 jk and like you I keep the maintenance to a “T” so far never had any serious issues with my Jeep! The only thing I replaced recently was the starter and a new battery. But lately I’ve been watching other videos like yours to get an idea of what’s coming soon just in case! That’s how I replaced my starter. Thanks for the video tutorial! Even though I don’t have to replace mine yet! But is good to know!👌😎👍great job! By the way! Mine got 78,000 miles on it!
I'm with you, I always wonder what's next. We love our jeep but I sure dont like these issues happening so soon
@@JunkinwithJr I agree with you!👍
Thanks for vdo, I will work on my jeep this weekend, thanks, nice vdo
Great video 😊
Yup. 80,000 on water pump and it detonated and took the belt. Then I lost the steering pump at 92,000
Isn't that crazy! If it didn't happen to me I'd have a hard time believing it
Use a coin to loosen/tighten the bleeder screw on the thermostat housing. ; )
I had piece of a hack saw blade sitting around
I can confirm that a dime works perfect for this lol
Great video! Thanks
Thank you
This video is a life saver. Just got a 2017 JK a couple months ago, and it’s starting to run hot with only 60k miles🙄 I guess this’ll be my first Jeep project. What was your total cost of parts?
I don't remember the cost, it's been a while.
Extremely well done and expertly articulated my friend. Pleasure to watch you work. Gotta like, sub and
Thanks
245th. Like
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!!
I love JEEP 💓
Thank you, hope it helped you
Thank you!
My pleasure
Great video!!! Just a question on the pulleys. Are they both the same or different? When I look online I see both and idler pulley and a RIGHT idler pulley. One is smooth and one is ribbed. Thanks
That looks m not sure on. It's been a lil while since I made that video
Mine died at 67,000 miles. Catastrophic failure resulting in overheating which blew the gasket and warped the heads. New engine required (cheaper than repair).
Wow! That's a bummer
Thanks for the video. If you don't mind me asking you what is the silver tank by the computer?
That is an air/oil separator. It is made by Moroso and it catches the oil that is sucked into the pcv system and separates it before it enters the intake manifold and gums up the intake and valves
Good job
I am so frustrated with my 2017 JK;….i have so many problems… brand new… only new vehicle…have you had any transmission problems?
We didn't have any transmission issues, unfortunately at about 100,000 miles it was in an accident and totaled out
Are you happy with the Gates? Mine is leaking at 70k and not thrilled about the Mopar replacement. If so where did you order from? Great vid appreciate the time you took to record it.
I feel that Gates makes really nice oe replacement parts. Your local O'Reilly should have it on the shelf
What is that Silver canister on the driver side with the hose going to the upper intake, What’s it called and what’s it purpose?
That's a morose air oil separator. It catches the oil in the pcv system and prevents it from going into the intake and being burned
Nice vid .. question I have the same year jeep what were your symptoms on your car was was it overheating past half way point? Mine was over heating past half way mark and when I got home added coolant and checked all my hoses radiator and nothing. Changed my thermostat used for a few days started loosing coolant from over flow so I’m thinking my pump is going out too.
My wife parked the jeep on the concrete driveway and I saw a few orange colored drips under it. I slid under it with a flash light and saw the drips and residue on the water pump.
Ok after changing thermostat, radiator, hoses, water pump even the over flow my jeep still goes to the 3/4 mark ?? I bled the coolant too tried jacking up the front and let it run for 30 minutes with a funnel to remove air with no success? Anyone having same issues ?? Took to jeep and they said it was ok and while during hone went up to 3/4 mark again. No smell of coolant in oil or wet plug??
Can you scroll through the info center in your dash and see what the digital read out of the temp is vs the "3/4" mark
@@alexsantana5377 Hey bud I'm having same issue overheating change Tstat and purged system still having overheating haven't changed water pump yet.
@@gotryche73 I changed every part of the cooling system and the last thing it came down to was the head gasket and heads needless to say we got rid of it. Sad thing is that was our second wrangler and they both had same issue it’s those crappy penstar engines with aluminum heads.
Hey why does your jeep have orange color coolant? Shouldnt it be purple (OAT) and not Orange (HOAT)?
It was orange ish from the factory
@@JunkinwithJr So strange. So what did you add? Purple OAT?
Because I have a jeep wrangler 2015. Which seems to have orange coolant in it...but i believe it should be purple. So I am concerned someone put HOAT orange in it
I used the new "universal gold" stuff
@@JunkinwithJr is that stuff OAT? because in can create a jello in the coolimg system.
Great video. Is there anything else needed with the metal gasket?
No sir, just make sure the surfaces are spotless and no sealant is necessary.
Sucks. My 2016 with 45k. Already leaking.
Son of a biscuit!
I have a problem with the water pump, it has been changed 3 times and smuggling is taking place. Where do you think the problem lies?
It's just a poor design
Thank you very much
My last customer was making a bunch of noise while running at 60k miles .
Also the oil cooler was leaking a bunch of oil down the back of the transmission.
Jeep equals junk in my book . That’s why I drive Toyota.
Agreed, the oil coolers are also a piece of junk and should last way longer than they do!
I just replaced my oil cooler over the weekend and it was a royal pain in the ass. My Jeep is what makes me happy and I enjoy working on her even if she has pms regularly 🥀
That's a bummer. I've changed the oilcooler also, not a fun jog!
Hey do you have the links for all the parts you bought?
I can look up the part numbers and send them to you later.
Gates part numbers 36816 idler, k060876 belt, 902-852 thermostat & housing, 44021 water pump
I just had to replace a water pump in a 2018 Jeep GC with 63k miles.
Hard to believe they make such a crappy pump!
My Wrangler is not getting heat through the core. Flushed core, still nothing. Could water pump be the trouble?
Could be, maybe a thermostat issue also
@@JunkinwithJr finally got it, had air in it still
@@michaeladams3851 awesome! an air pocket is always a real pain, especially we can't see it
@@JunkinwithJr never saw a vehicle that hard to burp
how is the Gates water pump is holding on?
It's working great!
My engine died at 93k miles in a 2012 Wrangler. Mind you religious with oil changes. Oh and the catalytic converter died at 60,000 miles.
Holy crap, that's a shame
Mine has 32k miles and I have to change it Is leaking
Dang that's frustrating!
@@JunkinwithJr I found out my mechanic has the same jeep as me and he has swapped his damage water pump my spring coils and the carpet Not the matts. THE CARPET. He disappeared Now my jeep runs but bad. Who does that???
@@kingg1466 Hard to say without some serious diagnosing. Possibly a bad ground situation?🤷
Did you put a new gasket??
Of course, it co.es with the new Gates pump
@@JunkinwithJr I ordered an oem wp, and it did not come with a gasket. Should I get an oem gasket or should I just grab one from autozone?
@@martinmoraga8133 I'd just grab one from your local parts store
It is called planned failure
70k on mine and its done.
Crappies design ever
Planned obsolescence.....
My Jeep has 55888 mile and the pump is shot
That sucks!
@@JunkinwithJr well come to find out that the A/C compressor was bad as well. Not sure if the compressor had anything to do with the pump going bad or the other way around but that was a good 580$ i spent fixing it. I did the work myself and it was pretty easy
Jeep does the mistakes on purpose, on my wife's 2013 I was told there isn't an aftermarket waterpump.. $500.00
Jeep... gotta love 'em
New jeeps are crap
Bro you should’ve called this video something else. You talk way to much about other parts having to do nothing with the actual water pump.
Sorry to disappoint, it's impossible to please everyone.
Thanks for the video.
Your welcome
