08 Chrysler Pacifica 4.0/3.5 Timing Belt & Water Pump Replacement

Timing belt and water pump replacement in a 08 Chrysler Pacifica. This is a 4.0 engine but process should be similar if not exact for the 3.5.

I just want to say I really enjoyed your video but then..... I gained a little bit more knowledge and realized just how much is missing in your video. I watched it 20 times and it was so convinced I had all the knowledge and skills to take care of this water pump and timing belt and then as I said started to understand the things that were not in your video like the pullies and the fact there is a special tool for that that I would need and let's see oh and that you don't show putting in the belts or on the belts

My mom is taking her Pacifica in tomorrow for a water pump replacement and other parts too which is going to be $950

Thanks hombre

How many hours did it take for you to complete the job?

I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica and the timing belt broke. We're tearing the engine down and so far have found at least six bent valves. Probably going to be more once we tear into the other side. What do I need to keep in mind when I'm putting everything back together about my timing? I can't find any good videos

[@autorandom6884]

Set the cylinder #1 at top dead center before you put the heads back on. Do not rotate the crankshaft until you have the timing belt back on.

@@autorandom6884 gotcha! Thank you! Great series of videos!

[@curtisdoss2469]

When you took the timing belt off did you mark where the timing marks were at on the belt? I see where people do that. Can you put on the new one without the Mark's?

[@autorandom6884]

If you're reusing the belt for whatever reason, you can mark the belt. New belts have marks

[@curtisdoss2469]

@@autorandom6884 I'm using a new one. The water pump went out but I didnt know how long or if the timing setup had been changed.

[@justthehedricks7445]

When did you mark everything the edit doesn't show you doing it did you do it before you took the belt off?

I know this video is 2 years old,I have the same vehicle just a 07', 4.0 and I need the pulley changed in there,not the water pump,the kit I can afford comes with the belt and that pulley,and it's winter time at the moment,I dont have a garage,I work on my cars myself, but I cant do this job,so i have to get someone to help me,so for example what would you charge to put the belt on cuz why not,and that damn pulley thats making a racket??? The pulley thats connected to timing belt,water pump etc. What would you charge someone?? For those things? Ive gotten a few quotes but I know when I'm being overcharged,so what would your price be?? I mean less than 800-900$ right???? Cuz holy shit a shop said that price to me,another shop was chesper I'm just curious

[@autorandom6884]

This job calls for 5.3 hrs. Labor cost would be dictated by the shops hourly rate. For example, my shop rate is $80hr so labor would run $425. On the other hand, some shops don’t advertise their hourly rate. Instead, they’ll base what the job calls for then decide what to charge so it’s worthwhile to take it on. Hope that helps.

[@MOMMARAPTOR]

@@autorandom6884 yes that does help alot, thank you, wish your shop was in east TN lol could be done with by now

[@MichelleManchester-sv4mx]

I said all you need is your pulley done I would strongly suggest you do it yoursel. You will need a special tool either a pulley puller or a three jaw puller and you can get them as loaner tools from the parts store
