Thanks for the video. My radiator petcock wouldn't open. I worked some plastic up behind the hoses and pump to direct the coolant away from the belts and alternator. As I pulled or loosened hoses it all went into a big tray underneath. Wiggle the pump body out slowly and the last gush of water can be controlled too. Get a tube of silicone grease. I used NAPA Sil-Glide.
Hey Thanks so much for the video - was very helpful - up to the point of getting the water pump out. I saw you grab the pump and start rocking it. I have now be working for 6 hours on mine and it will not budge. all bolts are off. have tapped it with a hammer as well as tried to pry it out...and nothing???? any ideas. 2013 Ford F150 STX 5.0
Nice video. I just finished this job, one comment maybe useful is when you get to that spot where the a/c belt is very tight against tensioner pulley of other belt that you can rotate the pulley slightly there is a sweet spot that lets the belt slip right in no force needed.
What's the average time it takes to replace that? I have a 2013 f150 5.0 and I think my water pump just went bad. Had it towed to Ford,so I was just curious how long it took
Yeah, that's what I was about to question how long it takes to change it out! Looks to be around 30 minutes or so! But when you take it to the dealership or an auto mechanic it takes them around 6 hours or more! I have seen them work in the auto shop and they take their time will walk around with a rag in their hands and walk around and get coffee and walk around talking and laughing with the other workers in the shop! When they get through they even go get them another cup of coffee and it takes at least the whole day and charge you after working on it 6 hours or more! That is the reason I don't take mine to the dealership! LMAO
@@cprince7749 It's the O-rings that go bad. Hoses have some, that T connector has one. I had already replaced the ones on the hoses, the one on the T connector went bad, found a 3 pack the had the O ring for the T connector for $6 on Ebay. Replaced and leak gone. Cheaper than buying the part.
What kind of pliers are those? They look like they were designed for them crappy clamps. Broke a ear off of one them other day using normal channel locks.
Nice work...I'm wondering if every Ford mechanic would be so through about replacing the contaminated belts and cleaning off the pulleys??? Curious though, if your in the pump already would you recommend replacing the thermostat along with all of the hoses and that "Y" assembly?
There's several of them o rings on that 5.0 I'd do the whole thing together eating some crow initially but later on b a smilin. What does ur gut tell u ?
So, right at 11:36, when you removed the thermostat housing, since you didnt place anything there to deflect all the coolant from running all down inside the alternator, how did the alternator work or last after that?
Just rinse it out with water if your worried about it... pull the battery terminal off obviously and let it dry for a bit... This isnt a 1980's alternator, theyre sealed just for that reason, to keep away outside contamination....
Man i had to update this comment. This video is extremely helpful, the camera angles and explanation is excellent. Most will just focus on the obvious things where lots get stuck are on the little things. Definitely coming back again when i need to replace this. This is even better than the "mainstream" car repair videos. Keep making videos.
Great video! I thought it was pretty thorough and easy to follow. Good camera views put you right in the action.
great video, my truck got stranded ill be going over tomorrow to swap out the water pump. thanks for making this video
Thanks for the video. Able to complete this job thanks to your video.
I'm trying this this week and will be using this video on the same year and model truck. Wish me luck haha!!! Absolutely great video!!!!
Curious. Did you end up doing the job? How did it go?
This video was great. Just replaced mine and basically followed step by step. Thank you very much for posting this.
Is the thermostat o ring the same size ss the thermostat housing o ring?

Good video. Had a shop replaced mine on my 2013 F150 5.0 back in 2018. I have a good leak now and looks to be coming from the water pump again.

Fine job sir!
Great video.
What type of torque wrench are you using? Thanks

What were the torque specs for attaching the thermostat housing back on to the new water pump?
Thank you. Nice video.
was yours leaking down to bottom center of engine
nice job
at 3:30 that hose and "Y" assembly are notorious for failing and leaking... Replace if you haven't recently.
That's what brought me to this video, mine just started leaking...

I'll be doing this tomorrow. I can guarantee my pump won't just pull out like that. That looked too easy

Where do you find the motor size
Carb cleaner or belt dressing
You did this in 35 minutes, my local dealership takes 3 hours.

That coolant ain’t the right color. Looks red. That system originally came with orange and within the last 3 years has switched to yellow.
Music noise playing in background is just that.... noise
I'm no mechanic lol and I just did mine in 3hrs..wasn't that bad .
you killed your local fish #@"&!!!
