How to replace a water pump - 2004 Chevy Suburban

[@lanceweber]

I'm out in Idaho in the snow and found that my water pump was leaking. Thanks to your video I'm going to be able to fix it myself! Awesome job!

[@LoneStarMini]

Not fun having to work on cars in the winters...hats off to you. Hope it was fairly painless for you. Stay warm

Your American cars are so easy to work on, that was so easy to replace.

[@LoneStarMini]

There is certainly more room than the newer/smaller vehicles...

The torque is 37 ft lbs for the idler pulley bolts, 11 ft lbs for the thermostat bolts, and water pump bolts are 11 ft lbs first pass followed by 22 ft lbs second pass.

[@AndrewVSmith10]

You made that look easy. Thanks!

[@LoneStarMini]

That’s a compliment… thank you. Hope it went well or goes well for you

What type of radiator fluid did you use. Funny enough I'm always recommended the orange fluid by stores but when I see videos of repairs on my 04 Suburban the fluids always green. Confusing....

[@LoneStarMini]

Honestly, I don't believe it truly makes a big difference. People are going to "sell" the product that makes the most profit. I'm not particular and I don't really look at the price. I merely prefer a premix solution and don't bother with the color. With that said, it seems that my foreign vehicles tend to have orange whereas my Chevy tends to always be green..

[@njmenaceify]

great video, whats the best way to go about getting all the air out of the system after you refill it?

[@austinriddle5291]

Thank you so much for this video

[@LoneStarMini]

Glad it was helpful

[@sashasocolov4565]

Thank you 👍

[@rhvreugde]

Did you say 11 ft. lbs. or should this be 11 in. lbs. ?? to torque the bolts.

[@qparker7947]

I notice you did use any gasket sealer or silicone, why is that?

[@LoneStarMini]

@@qparker7947 in most cases. A gasket sealer is not required nor recommended. Just make sure the surface is clean from all residue or buildup.

[@JDS811]

What does it means when you smell antifreeze coming for the ac vent and seeing it as well

[@LoneStarMini]

I’m not completely sure, but in talking with a friend, it sounds as though your heater matrix is leaking/bad

[@rjsimpkins2911]

Heater core leaking in dashboard.

[@MrJacobCastro]

What does it mean with or without A/C?

[@LoneStarMini]

Not sure I understand your question?

[@BillLaBrie]

I did this. It was disappointingly easy. Barely put any more hair on my chest.
