HOW TO REPLACE DODGE RAM 5.7L HEMI WATER PUMP

[@willdabeastindy]

Thanks for the video, I just Changed a pump on a Chevy. Was way easier. About to do a 2006 Ram. Looked here to see if any pulleys had to come off so I had an approximate timeline. I really like how you streamlined video showing what needed to come off and good explanation along with instruction. Fantastic. A tip I found on here a few years ago that I use to this day, which you may or may not approve. I use an SDS Max electric hammer with a chisel point to remove fan. The impact knocks it loose with a couple of taps. The one I seen used an air chisel. All the times I have had to remove fans no air available but electric was. You just need to be sure your going in C-clockwise angle and be careful in case of slippage. No holding anything from turning. Belt and compression hold well enough. The Impacts alone loosen. Tighten same way. Sorry for long rant, just figured it may help those that didn't have the tools but access to an impact type chisel. GREAT Channel!!!

The fan clutch was really tight. I sprayed nockerloose on the connection, I used vice grips on the water pump pulley to lock in place and put a pipe wrench on the bolt. The video helped a lot.

Thanx Bro... doing this this coming wknd... that poor Hemi is crusty! :D

[@bozo8894]

good info. to keep from fighting that one bolt, remove the 3 bolts holding the power steering pump on and swing it out of the way

[@carlosfields9937]

[@collinmccurdy445]

What if my heater core and basically the whole HVAC box is shot. Will it still purge the radiator properly?

[@dadstoygarage1878]

Nice video easy to follow!

[@FalconsGarage]

Glad you think so!

[@beredanny8691]

Howcome when I did all that and replaced the fan clutch now it's making like a loud fan noise?

[@FalconsGarage]

fan noise is normal .. but shaking is not .. doublecheck everything

[@AtwoodBoxing]

So the fan has to come out right

[@chrissabre1761]

Is the black pipe on the water pump the outlet or inlet?

[@littlehuey5679]

What year hemi is in this video ? Looks nothing like mine !!!!! Mine has not cap on the radiator? And the bottles are different?

[@FalconsGarage]

i talk about it with in 10 seconds of the video starting .. its also in the description

[@matthewrose4712]

thx brother

[@Happy-my8mb]

Why did you choose Murray? Warranty? OEM is very exspensive. Heard after market NOT Reliable. Why not upgrade to Electric Water Pump?

[@FalconsGarage]

That’s what the customer chose from what was available from the parts store. As far as am electric water pump those are usually mainly used for high horsepower applications. A mechanical one will always be more reliable.

[@CCSB6point0]

Where can I get that tool to hold the water pump pulley?

[@FalconsGarage]

If you need to buy the kit here it is.. amzn.to/2LJoc9Y or an auto part place might let you borrow it ...

[@rosiefuentes2861]

What was the name of that tool to hold fan blade?

[@paulpopp1999]

Are those pulleys pressed on? I did a clutch fan delete on my 2016 but wasn't sure about the water pump pulley.

[@FalconsGarage]

I believe so

[@xelaju1978]

Thank you

[@FalconsGarage]

Welcome!

[@redtabs3005]

Thx you bro

[@mbesswanger]

How in the Jesus Christ Superstar did you get enough leverage to hold the pulley still and still snatch the bolt loose with the wrench?

[@FalconsGarage]

I usually use a screwdriver to wench it between it

[@AliyasmommyHartford]

Whats the name of the special tool?

[@FalconsGarage]

fan clutch removal tool, there is a link to it on the description
