chrysler 300 water pump replacement

Watch how to replace / change the water pump & bleed the coolant system on a 5.7L hemi - Chrysler 300c with #moparbro fred_eazy21
Replacing the water pump and bleeding the coolant system on a Chrysler 300C with a 5.7L Hemi engine involves several steps. Here's a general guide to help you through the process:
Tools and Materials Needed:
New water pump
Coolant
Distilled water
Socket wrench set
Pliers
Screwdriver
Funnel
Coolant system bleeding tool (optional)
Steps:
Prepare the Vehicle:
Park your Chrysler 300C on a level surface and allow the engine to cool down completely.
Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent accidental electrical shorts.
Drain the Coolant:
Place a drain pan under the radiator drain plug.
Open the radiator drain plug and allow the coolant to drain completely into the drain pan.
Once drained, close the radiator drain plug securely.
Remove the Water Pump:
Locate the water pump on the front of the engine, typically driven by the accessory belt.
Remove any components obstructing access to the water pump, such as the drive belt or pulleys.
Disconnect the hoses and electrical connectors attached to the water pump.
Remove the bolts securing the water pump to the engine block using a socket wrench.
Carefully remove the old water pump from the engine.
Install the New Water Pump:
Clean the mounting surface on the engine block to ensure proper sealing for the new water pump.
Install the new water pump onto the engine block and secure it with the bolts. Tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.
Reconnect the hoses and electrical connectors to the new water pump.
Refill the Coolant System:
Use a mixture of coolant and distilled water to refill the cooling system. The exact ratio will depend on the type of coolant used (check the manufacturer's recommendations).
Slowly pour the coolant mixture into the radiator until it reaches the top. Fill the overflow reservoir to the appropriate level as well.
Bleed the Coolant System:
Start the engine and allow it to idle with the radiator cap removed.
Squeeze the upper radiator hose to help expel any air bubbles trapped in the cooling system.
Continue to monitor the coolant level in the radiator and top it off as necessary.
Once the engine reaches operating temperature and the thermostat opens, the coolant level may drop. Add more coolant as needed to maintain the proper level.
Once the cooling system is bled of air and operating normally, turn off the engine and reinstall the radiator cap.
Check for Leaks:
Start the engine again and visually inspect the area around the water pump for any signs of leaks.
Check the coolant level in the overflow reservoir and top it off if necessary.
Reconnect the Battery:
Reconnect the negative battery cable.
Test Drive:
Take your Chrysler 300C for a test drive to ensure that the cooling system is functioning correctly and that there are no leaks or overheating issues.
By following these steps, you should be able to replace the water pump and bleed the coolant system on your Chrysler 300C with a 5.7L Hemi engine. If you encounter any difficulties or have concerns during the process, it's advisable to consult with a qualified mechanic or seek assistance from a professional automotive technician.

It’s easiest to take off the pump; then remove the lower radiator hose. Better access to clamp, I felt. Did mine yesterday.

Hey there! in the video it looks like it cuts after having some trouble with the temp sensor. How did you ultimately get the temp sensor off? I'm having trouble and my black tab to pull down on is breaking. Lol any advice?

[@Drame17]

thanks its really helpfull for me now. Just one question after when u top up coolant, its neccessary to leave the coolant tank cup off? or i can put when i fill up the system?

[@moparbro]

Hey there, leaving the cap off was just percausiannary incase any air bubbles came up. You can definitely choose to put the cap on right after filling the coolant tank up and run it. Thnx for watching!

[@rebeccajaquez4491]

Great Video! I've got to do the same thing like in a few days. and Hope you answer in time, but what sysmptoms were you experiencing that made you change out the Tensioner and Water Pump? I'm having issues, and think it could be the Tensioner, but a small chance the water pump could be faulty as well, or on it's last leg anyway. thanks in advance!

[@moparbro]

Hey there! The water pump gasket failed and started leaking, technically I didn't need to change the tensioner, but I changed it out while I was there like the temp sensor and the thermostat. a failing tensioner would cause squeeking sounds as it's not able to grab the pulleys effectively. Also even though it was the gasket that failed on the water pump I would bet the pulley bearing has aged and its on the way out, so replacing the whole water pump was more of peace of mind. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!

[@rebeccajaquez4491]

@@moparbro Thanks for the reply! My hose at the "T" fitting by the firewall popped off and the T is busted. So I have to replace that T fitting and hope that fixes my issue. If not and I still get over heating I'll replace the Tensioner Pulley and the Water pump. I do see my tensioner pulley bounce with the cam lob. Don't think that's supposed to happen. So If I'm replacing that, I might as well replace the water pump as well.

[@moparbro]

@@rebeccajaquez4491 No problem! yea while you into it you may as well replace those too, thnx for watching and enjoy the build!

[@jdpickel589]

2 questions sir and great video you make it seem so easy 1. Do I need to drain coolant from the bottom 2. Is it the same as changing the pump on a 2006 chrysler 300 z

[@moparbro]

Hey there! 1. Just place a pan to catch the coolant below, when you remove the coolant return hose the coolant drains itself, it is the same as a 2006 chrysler 300c, the alternative set ups have the coolant reservoir on the passenger side near the front but those seem to be 2015+ hemis. thnx for watching!

[@jdpickel589]

Ok I'm gonna do same work on my Chrysler 300c 2006,is overheating thanks for the video.

hey there, no problem and thanks for watching!

[@Eddie-ye4hp]

My 2011 300c, has been leaking coolant, it has overheated 2x, had to refilll antifreeze a few times in the past year, its hard to get a honest answer from certain mechanics, could it be the waterpump? Thermostat ? Ripped hose ?

[@moparbro]

hey there, it's either a small leak in the water pump gasket or the radiator. If the leak is hard to find its small, in this case I would replace the water pump, thermostat and temp sensor as they all attach to the water pump. The parts are really cheap at rockauto.com at this point you would see where it's leaking, if it ends up being the radiator and the hoses attached no biggie, replace those and you should be good to go. either way at this point the hemi being overheated twice, most of the cooling system will probably need to be replaced anyways. the alternative is to go to a shop for a "leakdown" where they add dye to your coolant and let it run, the dye will leak out and identify what is leaking. Hope this helps!

That ain't a 1/4 inch rachet. It's a 3/8 inch.

[@MrNoNoNo718]

I was about to say the same. No one else mentions that

[@detroitking2238]

Bro I change the water pump thermostat what can cause the temperature gauge to rise to 222 or 230 when driving fast. I have a Chrysler 300s hemi

[@moparbro]

hey there, next one to look at is the radiator then get a coolant flush to make sure there is no blockages in the coolant system. If those don't work then the Last part in the system would be a plugged heater hose. Considering it rises while driving fast leads me to think its a blockage in the coolant system or a failing radiator. hope this helps

[@detroitking2238]

My guy thank you I’ll try that had this car for 3 years and had to change the radiator twice lol much love brother love your content💪

[@moparbro]

@detroitking2238 thnx man! dam if the radiator hasn't been changed I would start with a coolant flush, I bet you have a blockage. Also the shop doing the coolant flush can diagnose any other issue while performing the coolant flush, so it's a win win

[@detroitking2238]

@@moparbro I’m going to change it one more time and buy a new fan and ac compressor if that’s doesn’t work I’m going to buy a mini van😁😁😁

@@detroitking2238 haha sounds good man

[@TheOfficial_Tj]

so u left the cap on or off

[@Prod319]

Change my water pump in a month later they were still overheating, and my coolant reservoir was boiling. Any reason why it boils

[@moparbro]

hey there, try changing thermostat if it hasn't been changed out, if it has, I experienced new ones fail in a couple of weeks after install, next step would the the radiator with a coolant flush to rule.out any blockages in the coolant system. If those don't fix it it's most likely a plugged heater core. Atleast going this way if it did end up being the heater core at the end everything is replaced. Also the heater core is hard to get to and harder to install. Anyways try those! thnx for watching!

[@droalmighty8921]

Hey bro what symptoms were u having and what sounds was the pump making I’m about to change mine here in next coo days

[@moparbro]

hey there! the gasket failed and was leaking coolant, other than the gasket it was running fine as long as u kept the jeep full of coolant. thnx for watching!

cause u say leave it on but the cap is off while your bledding it

[@Boat300]

Hey quick question. How do you know the water pump is no good ? . I got a 2013 Chrysler 300c hemi and it’s been overheating in 50 degrees weather 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@moparbro]

hey there, either the propeller bearing goes and it's loud when it spins or it leaks coolant, for overheating I would try replacing the thermostat first and see if that works

[@Boat300]

Yeah I’ve replaced my thermostat for the 3rd time and still overheat . I’ve check around the water pump and it looks like has a slow leak from under the water pump .

[@Boat300]

And no coolant would come out of the bleeder hole when I add coolant in the reservoir

[@moparbro]

@@Boat300 yea I would change the waterpump

[@moparbro]

@Boat300 yep, replace the water pump and if that doesn't work move onto the radiator

[@jeromeharding9734]

How did u know it was the waterpump

[@moparbro]

it's started leaking coolant from the weeper
