Ford Ecoboost 2.7 Water Pump & Thermostat Replacement

In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the water pump and gasket on a 2.7 L eco-boost Ford engine. These engines come in at 1:50, edge, and Lincoln MKV in this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the water pump and gasket on a 2.7 L eco-boost Ford engine. These engines come in F150, edge, and Lincoln MKV vehicles. This job is not too difficult however there are some important steps to take along the way. Such as using proper torque specifications and making sure not to damage the grommet that goes around the water pump and slides onto the water pipe in the motor. Make sure to check out the links below for OEM quality parts and great prices. If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave something in the comment section. Thank you

Good video I’m glad to see ford didn’t put that water pump internally like the 3.5. We bought 2 f-150’s with the 2.7 so I’m keeping fingers crossed that they last. So far so good

[@AaronHinesAuto]

They are great motors! Thank you

[@johnmaccallum9984]

Fantastic engine, its unfortunate that I had to have a huge head gasket leak at 170k miles.

[@OldJudoGuy]

Thanks for doing this video! It’s going to help me appreciate the money I spend at the dealer when I have someone there do it! LOL! I know I could do it, but man that’s a lot of work.

[@jakesblotto7329]

Great explanation and timely explanation on how to change the water pump...

[@blackericdenice]

Great video. I have a 2016 F165 with 69k miles. Tonight just after leaving work. My temp gauge maxed out and I got a p1299. I think it maybe a bad thermostat because one hose was hot but the other hose was cold.

[@cessealbeach]

Very Good instructions and good video, glad they dint use timing chain to drive the water pump

[@chuckoman]

Aaron THANK you for the excellent detail and explanation you truly care brother

[@Kraibotvideo]

Good video. You forgot to mention the torque specs for the pulley bolts, but a super helpful video 👏👏👏

[@JTPerformanceSynthetics]

Great Video!

[@rdlamascus]

Very well done; thank you!

[@jimparker7778]

Great video Aaron! You seem to have a handle on these Ford water pumps!

[@drchangtorres]

Nice and clean!

[@RRaucina]

Ford approved coolant is now the yellow stuff. Orange discontinued.

[@Roamingredneck]

Spent the better part of the past hour hunting down part numbers for the water pump and no one is able to confirm or deny if the pump comes with the thermostat, housing, or not. Has part numbers changed since then?

[@juanzingarello4005]

Wait. The water pump on the 2.7L is externally mounted? I thought these were internally mounted. There was this whole thing how they can leak coolant into the engine oil and wreck the engine.

[@JD-zf7gf]

Juan Zingarello I think the 2.7 is all external. The 3.5 3.7 are internal. My 3.7 had both internal and external, ya, I don’t get that either

[@juanzingarello4005]

John Divo Good to know. We are actually looking at a Lincoln Nautilus and this gave me a bit of a scare knowing what a problem this was for Chrysler. Although it seems that with Fords the coolant leaking into the engine oil wasn’t so much of an issue. I always thought the Duratecs were known for being fairly reliable engines.

[@joeblow4888]

@@juanzingarello4005 Yes, they are great engines. I believe it's 2007 or 2008 - 2012 model years that have this stupid water pump design. None of the newer style aluminum F150's from 2015 to present have the internal water pump.

[@francesco1998]

No that was the naturally aspirated 3.5 from a few years ago.

[@juliolambs]

Fantastic video and explanation my friend. I have a 2018 2.7L that’s appears to be leaking from the heater pump also but mine will leak a gallon on about 24 hours. Can just the gasket be replaced or does the entire water pump and thermostat need to be replaced?

[@mcgovernjimmy]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@jeoz0420]

the water pump you have linked the description of the part says "best aftermarket parts" does this mean it's not a true motorcraft part?

[@jarlcarlson8539]

Very helpful thank you

[@SamSam-ke9zy]

With the tiny oil filter on the turbos you think the oil filler line should be changed out more often to prevent damage to the turbo?

[@bobbydabutcha]

I am assuming the Ecoboost 3.0 water pumps are also on the outside of the engine like the 2.7?

[@josephkober3734]

Video at 8.11 shows the obvious crack in the timing cover upper left corner

[@homebuilthappiness2919]

Good catch

[@davidwhitacre534]

Are you sure that isn't the edge where the spray cleaner was sprayed? Look at the cover before the spray and I don't believe that "crack" line is on the cover.

[@zx9green791]

Great video thanks!

[@dukecannon4584]

Just purchased a 2021 F-150... hopefully the water pump is external!

[@mbrick]

Which motor?

[@donaldlucas8688]

Thank you!

[@kevinkelley3657]

those channel locks are the model 460

[@jonathanhebert9966]

Are the 2018 EcoBoost 2.7 water pump the same way?

[@francesco1998]

Should be. Don’t see why they’d change it.

[@jayg9732]

Great job. What city r u located ?

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Surprise az

[@RobertKohut]

Nice!!

[@David-oi9zo]

On the coolant will it affect if the orange and clear antifreeze mix i added 2 gallons of clear i was told it was the recommended one but it had orange

[@AaronHinesAuto]

It should be fine

[@bunkerputt]

What's all that oil at 4:16?

[@1985GusT]

Blow by that’s redirected to the intake.

[@adamhautz6481]

How much coolant do you drain?

[@alsautner1732]

89 Foot lbs on them small bolts seems very high...Is that correct...I would think a bolt of that size would not be over 30 Foot lbs.

[@gnohn9366]

89 inch lbs.

[@user-fz3sz2dj4r]

INCH lbs

[@brooks1176finn]

Needs a catch can

[@blackericdenice]

No he does not. Companies create problems that don't exist to sell you things you don't need.

[@tombetterley1645]

holy shit dude!! forget the water pump. Do you still have this truck???? seriously get yourself a catch can and maybe get a certified ford mechanic to look at that blow by issue. you got some major engine issues here other than that water pump.......look at 4:10 to 4:19, see all that oil coming from that charge hose. You must have a rough idle truck..... how many miles you got on it in this video??? Judging by the dust on the engine you never opened the hood before this video. holy crap man......

[@AaronHinesAuto]

This truck currently has 180k miles on it with no issues. It’s a fleet truck and has a Rigorous maintenance schedule. Located in az. Can’t drive one week here without an engine bay looking like that. Lots of desert driving.

[@tombetterley1645]

@@AaronHinesAuto that doesn't explain the oil in the intake. Get a catch can bro. Maybe look at replacing the rings on the pistons too.

[@emiliotamayo3256]

​@tombetterley1645 Apparently, the excessive dust has done a number on the piston rings.

[@lolz616]

How does ford afford to fix all their water pump failures... soooo many people have their water pumps failing or leaking and replaced under warranty its insane what kind of water pump are they using that is so garbage? Ive never had any issue with my engine with ford its always the stupid ass water pump

[@francesco1998]

This engine has 120,000 miles on it and the pump is only starting to go out. It’s recommended you replace a water pump every 100,000 miles anyway so this one actually lasted great.
