Thank you

[@t5396]

Great video bro. Very informative. Very concise.

[@brandonhudson9952]

This is my next project! Auto shop wanted over $1200 to fix multiple things.

[@coctione8117]

Thanks for posting. How did you bleed air from the system? Many cars have a high point in the hose that allows for an easy bleed, but less clear on the LQ9.

[@beejay8719]

Do you need waterpump sealant on the back of the waterpump of the new one? I see you used it on the thermostat. Did you use it on the other gaskets?

[@johnmokma8897]

Do the waterpump bolts needpermatex on them? Some vehicles the bolts go into water jackets on leak without it? Thanks.

After replacing the water pump what coolant is best fit for my truck Cadillac Escalade 2004

[@handsomeransom2235]

Would u happened to know how many catalytics come on a 04 esv?

[@aalbballer4lyfe]

I followed what you said now….. having one more problem now after I fixed the leak my Cadillac starts and then stops

[@dylanramirez6290]

How did you drain the coolant?

[@josephthorpe4405]

Hey boss I know it's been awhile since you made this but I have another three Escalade. My belt was squealing really bad I replaced it. And it was okay then all the sudden it popped off and I lost all power of course but when I lifted the hood there was coolant all over. My belt came right out it wasn't hooked on anything or broke or ripped or anything so you think that was no water pumped that went bad? Considering the coolant all over around the crank area

[@josephthorpe4405]

Prior to its popping off there was a little bit of rumbling download in my engine compartment. I figured that was the bearings going bad in the pulley

[@timhudson401]

What kind of silicone on thermostat housing?

[@user-mh9sk2jz8b]

How do I take the belts off the motor to change the water pump without messing it up

[@Barbiekilla007]

Hey Matt I’m changing the water pump on my 2002 Escalade I notice the leak about a week ago would you recommend I change the belts too?

[@MattShaughnessy6]

YES! since you are already in there it would save you both time and money in the future.

[@gilberttobon8071]

Hi so I’m going to replace my old water pump and bought some Amsoil coolant. Should I flush the system? Do I flush it first or after install. What is the best way to flush. Trying to figure out how to flush and keep the Amsoil coolant I bought. I’m stuck if I flush after with a mechanic but then I loose the coolant I bought. Thank you

[@gilberttobon8071]

Can we talk or text?

[@Kustompaint2026]

Mine just went out, how long does it take to replace it??

[@NoEBoB94]

How do I check if it’s my thermostat or water pump?

[@Kustompaint2026]

How long does this take to replace??

[@ahmedbluebird5894]

I have a question I just bought a 2005 Cadillac Escalade why they remove the blade fan from it???

[@MattShaughnessy6]

To make room for electronic fans.

[@ahmedbluebird5894]

So did you need the blade fan or no???

[@MattShaughnessy6]

If you have electronic fans then no.

[@jleaygibson1678]

So I’m going to be doing this with my 03 Cadillac is it pretty much the same. I’m a female trying to learn How to fix my own cars problems because I’m tired of being ripped off

[@georgedangerfield6280]

My truck wouldn’t start unless I put antifreeze in it but now the water pump was no good and now it won’t start due to it leaking. Why does it not start is it cause of the leaking real bad

[@ahmedbluebird5894]

But the electric fan it’s work with it only with the AC right

[@MattShaughnessy6]

No. The electric fan work either with the ac or they will kick on between 200-230 degrees

[@lesleywilliams5586]

When the water pump start make a squeaking noise what do that mean it's time for a replacement and also it's that why it runs hot to

[@MattShaughnessy6]

yes and yes! :)

[@enysavage4982]

Ive changed my water pump, thermostat and radiator, and still it’s overheating. Can’t seem to find the issue

[@jimmylovell4465]

Did you change fan clutch

[@saulcovarrubias4898]

How much coolant do you need ?

[@MattShaughnessy6]

2 gallons. You should have about a quart (give or take a few) left over.

[@fkabtch626]

Anyone knows where the thermostat is located

[@cocksicklestick]

Thermostat is on the water pumper. The housing is bolted to the water pump and the thermostat is inside that

[@dominicstilwill9951]

Where does the orange go on the water pump

[@dominicstilwill9951]

Oring

[@larryrobbins6837]

Changed my radiator yesterday... but now my truck is overheating! I have changed the thermostat...

[@MattShaughnessy6]

Did you burp the coolant system? sometimes it only takes a few minutes sometimes it can take hours.

[@keithwalker3856]

Is the water pump expensive where can I by it at
