[@peteroslacky3300]

Just had my water pump die on my 2012 f 150 ecoboost. Used this video to replace my water pump. Best video on how to do the job correctly. The heads up on the cross over pipe was extremely helpful. Just an amazing and helpful video. God bless you for posting this video!

[@golightly209]

Super detailed and clean clear view

[@peteroslacky3300]

I purchased all my parts from my local ford dealer

[@justinjaeschke5116]

Completed this job on my 2015 F150 EB last night. Upset that it failed at 92k miles and only 5 years, but its really not that bad of a job. Took about 4-4.5 hours including a test drive and I did everything by hand and took my time. I did not have to remove the air intake pipe that feeds the left (passenger side) turbo. Might save someone 10-15 minutes. I also took a garden pump (with a clean hose) and pumped out the coolent behind the water pump cavity after taking the thermostat housing off and probably got an extra gallon of coolant out. The pipe that connects to the rear of the engine under the intake also came out on me, but with new o-rings and some o-ring lube it went back in no problems on reassembly.

[@CraigsMobileMechanic-lg6pn]

Great video. Really appreciate the thoroughness without going overboard. This was great!

[@motorsportheaven9321]

Just replaced the water pump on my ‘15 expedition because this video gave me confidence to do it. Ordered all the parts in the description for $168 off rock auto then had to go back and order more motorcraft orange coolant. The expedition radiator drain is on the passenger side hidden pretty well and filling it back up only took 2 gallons. Overall it took me 3.5hrs to complete for the first time at home. I also bought the Husky power ratchet at home depot for $80. Worked perfectly and it’s half the price of the bigger name brands.

[@thethumper088]

My '15 expedition just started leaking coolant collecting at the front of the oil pan. I'm guessing its the pump. Thanks for the heads up on the drain.

[@motorsportheaven9321]

after burping coolant it takes a little more than 2 gallons

[@NORTHSHOREEDITS]

Excellent video, did it to my 2013 f150 last weekend Couple tips, I put some rags around hood latch and duct taped so that when leaning over the rad didn’t get constantly jabbed, took out thermostat when still mounted on engine but didn’t install it until putting back together as it was easier to install housing, if you gently rock the housing you can get it separated from the crossover pipe without it coming off from the back of the engine.

[@Tross829]

One tip if you tackle this on your own. When you get the new water pump in and everything back together. Make sure you burp your coolant system. This is not shown in the video but is important step. I learned this the hard way. Lucky I didn’t ruin my engine. Enjoyed the video though and it gave me the confidence to do the repair myself.

[@FemmeSilhouette]

[@SmallTownInTexas]

In my experince coolant damages belts causing squeals. Remove the tensioner belt and wrap the strech belt in plastec before removing any part that will leak coolant. Best video covering this procedure I have found!

[@joemalcom7029]

Did my 2015 non-Ecoboost 3.5. Video really helped. I let the air out o my front tires and that was the game changer in terms of reach and overall comfort and accessibility.

[@waynegregoire2354]

Great video. Just did the water pump replacement on a 2016 F150 EB with 65k miles. Steps were exactly the same as the 2015 you did. Breaking loose the air ducts took some time as it is hard to get any leverage. Putting everything back together was easier than I thought. The pipe from the left turbo to the intercooler was the worst. The tip on reaching behind the manifold to guide the pipe was great. I just had to push it down some and it slide right in. Took about 5 hours. Bought the water pump from Rockauto. Total cost including coolant and gaskets was about $180. Stealership wanted over $800 P&L.

[@TheLawlessGang]

wow why replaced so soon wtf lol

[@waynegregoire2354]

Yeah sucks. Another YTer Flying Wrenches is a Ford mechanic and he said most leak at the weep hole and he was right. Haven't had an issue since I replaced it 5k miles ago

[@AaronHinesAuto]

thanks for the kind words! if you are only replacing the thermostat, you can just remove the intake pipe from the air filter. then reach around the charge pipe and remove the two bolts holding the thermo housing on. you wont need to remove the radiator hose from the thermo housing. i did this just last week on a 15

[@mikemallery913]

My 2012 f150 EcoB 3.5 Had a knocking rattle, no warning lights, no performance issues, dealer found it to be the water pump, $600+ to replace. I’ve replaced water pumps on side by sides and an old Chevy and take car to clean each part removed, replace belts, rings, anything touched really. I didn’t think to ask about replacing the belt, rings and such today, they are completing it tomorrow, Hope the dealer is as conscientious as you. PS it is 1/4/2022, ford water pumps are on back order till July, so installing an aftermarket pump that does not include a labor warranty, makes me worry I’ll have to take a day to do this next time. If it took u 3.5 hours, that’s 8 for me! Very nice video

[@ali18ninja]

Great video! Just did my water pump and thermostat on my 2013 ecoboost. Almost identical to this procedure. I noticed that the clamp on the passenger intake pipe was blocked slightly by the frame. I ended up not removing the pipe and just kind of "moved" it and used a bungee cord to keep it pulled away. Unfortunately i forgot to pull the hose on the vacuum and broke the vacuum stem. So now i gotta fix that lol. Thank you again 🙏

[@JuanVega-ns5ok]

Wow! What a job. My version would have been R-rated as I cursed Ford engineering. You showed exceptional patience and skill.

[@thejonathanharris]

Fantastic breakdown...felt confident I could do this so I spent last Sat replacing the water pump. All was good with the repair (besides using the wrong screw and ruining the part...glad it was $94 dollars).

[@dcmcmill1]

Saved $900 in repair labor. Took me about 4 hours. I would say I am a 6/10 in terms of automotive repair experience. Done brakes, rear shocks, power running board replacement, basic stuff…. This was by far my most in depth repair but I was able to get through it. Couple items to note… 1) be careful unplugging the charge pipe sensor near where it plugs i to the throttle body. I cracked mine and had to spend $200 to replace the whole thing. 2) I did not have to remove the passenger side turbo pipe. It has enough play you can just lightly bungy it out of the way. 3) BE EXTRA CAREFUL WHEN SCREWING IN THE REPLACEMENT WATER PUMP. Do not over tighten them. The 7 bolts that hold it in place can’t be overtightened or they will snap. I broke one and spent a while feathering out the broken bolt.

[@johjohp7696]

Torque specs for reassembly are important. He says 71 in/lbs + 45 deg I've seen another vid that says 89 in/lbs + 45 which equals 25 NM or 18 ft/lbs for the 2011-2020 supposedly. Also found 18 ft/lbs for the water pump and pulley on some forums, so that's what I'll go with. Doing full water pump, thermostat housing, belts and belt tensioner assembly on my 2018. $500 in parts sounds way better than the dealer's $2500 parts and labor.

[@benjaminsleep4312]

I agree with Daniel R. Milazzo. Best repair video I've ever seen. Very thorough, Nice Job!

[@thomasnorthup8387]

This is a great KZbin video! I just paid my bill for having this service done and was wondering what they did. After watching the video I absolutely needed someone else with experience to do the service. Very detailed and easy to understand.......but I could never have done this on my own. Thanks for the auto lesson.

[@burhanamiry]

Hi, How much did you pay for the service? I have the same issue want to have an idea. Thanks

Yes you could. Start small by doing your own oil change and brakes. Use the internet. You got it.

[@1wadesdad]

Thanks for a wonderful video. Note: Some have 3 bolt pulleys, some have 4 bolt pulleys. It appears he installed a 3 bolt pump and bought a new 3 bolt pulley. (He removed 4 bolts from the original pulley). Completed a replacement after reviewing your video several times. Two glitches..... 1. getting all the parts on a Sunday. 2. Left the intake hose to the throttle body loose which three a low turbo boost code. I tried not to panic as I popped the hood, but saw the hose was off.

[@WontSeeReplies]

[@andyhugie1647]

This video is still helping people 2yrs later you just walked me through changing mine on my 2013 platinum thanks

[@tp5401]

Thanks for the video! Couple of thoughts for people doing this job. Just accomplished it today. 2012. A few differences. I avoided taken off some of the ductwork for turbos and instead just worked around them. Definitely recommend watching part 4 of Fordtechmakuloco's timing job videos. He has to take off and put on the water pump of course for the job and in part 4 he provides torque specs and torque sequence. I recommend following those guidelines when torquing bolts that have seals and contain liquid. It's not complicated... But there is a right way to bolt both the water pump and the thermostat housing back on. Thanks again. You helped me out immensely.

[@Shawn742]

Thank you for the thorough write-up. I have a 2012 and the reservoir is in a different spot, but everything else is nearly identical. What the video doesn't show is that you can hook a drain line to the red coolant drain fitting on the radiator so that coolant doesn't dump everywhere (it will still dump everywhere from the block when the water pump is removed though). I was able to get the thermostat housing off without the crossover pipe coming out by using a flathead screwdriver to hold a tab of the crossover pipe in place while wiggling the thermostat housing off. Another tip - you might as well clean the throttle body as well, since you already have it removed. As silly as it sounds, the hardest part for me was getting the thermostat hoses off and then back on. Those spring clamps will drive a normal guy insane, especially when they're a decade+ old and there isn't much tool clearance.

11:40 don’t put grease on that! put silicone paste. Or di electric grease. Petroleum based greases will eat that rubber seal.

After moving a hose clamp away, I next use channel-locks where the clamp was compressed to lightly grab that area and rotate it back and forth until the hose moves. That makes pulling the hose off so much easier.

Ate the seals out of my new water pump and leaked again. Also a ton of sediment in my cooling system causing a ton of issues. Use Motorcraft orange (discontinued) or yellow (not gold).

[@jaydiaz1294]

Great video! I think mine will need replacing. I noticed a puddle where I parked located where the back/middle of my engine would be. Im guesing it worked its way down to the engine shroud hole. Must have been a slow leak that created a plate size puddle while I was at work. Puddle seems to be liquid and not oil. It does not have a ditinctive smarll like motor oil or tans.

So are the water pumps externally mounted on all F-150 3.5 ecoboost engines? I’m confused on why some are internal.

[@justinjaeschke5116]

My understanding is if the engine is transverse mounted (common on front wheel drive) then the water pump is behind the timing cover (probably due to space constraints). I think some Ford Edge and Ford Explorers are like this (probably others). For longitudinal mount engines like the F150 its external.

By far this is the hardest job I've ever done on any car and that includes rebuilding an engine. That was somewhat easier than this. I appreciate everything you showed, it has helped except with the frustration.

At 11:13 where the fluid is coming out of the block, there is a black gasket that you can see. Unless there is a leak in this gasket, whatever you do, don't touch it, there is no need to replace that gasket The O-Ring seals but this gasket you have to remove the timing cover to take it out and replace it.

Most complete, concise and well explained instructional video about this particular repair type on KZbin. Good job on the repair, AND on making the video. --Do you babysit too?? So hard to find good help.

Great video, boss. Hoping I never have to do this, but you make it look easy.

Holy S@$#! That’s a lot of work for a water pump! Great video. Thank you

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Thank you!

thats nothing- look up the flex with 3.7 water pump- gotta remove the cradle/engine, disassemble the engine as water pump is internal and timing chain driven... look at the oil pump belt drive on a new 1 liter- its inside the oil pan, and behind the timing chains...full teardown to change a darn belt. Ford...better ideas? LOL
