[@xvsj-s2x]

WoW Brian you make it look so easy 💙 Thank you Amigo 👍

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I try. Thank you for watching!

[@davidsabin4946]

vacuum filling is also a great way to fill the coolant and a time saver for sure!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

For sure but most DIY people that are gonna watch this video. I’m not gonna have one.

[@213funnyp]

9 yrs in, mine still good, i just changed mine for the hell of it. As a truck driver, Ford trucks are the most popular trucks that like to breakdown on the side of the road😂

[@user-cf5ho5ly2l]

Mine has already 230000mi on and no problem, but as preventive maintenance I will replace it

Excellent explanation and good technique. Thank u!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you!

[@tshafa9468]

Nice video, thanks. You mentioned that most of you coolant leaked out. Where did it leak from?

[@77bweston]

Thanks so much for the upload!!! 👍🏿

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you for watching!!

[@chrislopez7109]

I just did mine man and it was not leaking before and now after changing everything tightening to spec and re install it keeps leaking 😢

[@Shaun-sb1uu]

Great job man. I have to do the same to my 2018.
Is it normal for all the radiator coolant to leak out of the pump.
I barely made it in my driveway and when I did I opened my hood and had fluid leaking everywhere. Is that normal when the pump goes out? I could not see at first where it was coming from but I’m guessing it was all blowing out of the broken pump. I could hear the grinding and see the wheel wobbling.
Thanks man

Good video

[@BellaRocko]

Thank you, Brian! Your experience and skills really show, you make it look like a breeze. I have a couple 20+ year old Chevys on their original water pumps, these newer ones seem to be less reliable.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

I would agree the new ones are not as reliable as the older trucks. I have a few customers running around with Chevy trucks for 500 K.

[@droppinchicken]

Can I get the exact torque wrench you used for this job?

What do you use to give a customer a quote? Is it an app or website? I’m considering mobile mechanic but I don’t know what to do about giving quotes

[@HowtoAutomotive]

For labor we use AllData.

[@erichlange6369]

Chevy puts out garbage anymore. 5 years old, and the water pump goes bad. Junk. Guess its time for a Ford.

[@user-cf5ho5ly2l]

Yes , to start with all the big and high cost ford issues.
