New Engine Water Pump from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1AEWP00234
This video shows you how to install an engine water pump on your 2009-2018 Ram 1500. The water pump keeps coolant flowing through your engine. Common failures of the water pump will leave the coolant leaking, or stagnant. Both will lead to overheating if left untreated. Install a new engineered to fit water pump from TRQ for total peace of mind.
This process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck
2010 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck

This was absolutely incredible. Still took me 7 hours from start to finish, but this guide left no room for doubt and I have successfully completed this project on my 2013 Ram. I cannot thank you enough for the level of detail, not only in the video, but also the written information on what is needed. You rock!

[@69airride3]

I have watched many how to videos on YT but this video without a doubt is the best most thorough most easy to follow video I have ever watched..... amazing job brother, Thank you very much.

[@markhenry9934]

Now that is how you do a "how to" video. Can't thank you enough! Great job.

[@billwood1731]

As others have said, this is one of the best instructional videos on yt. Fantastic job, keep up the amazing work!

[@LeeADKMOBILEMILLING]

Definitely one of the best videos. No annoying music, or needless blabbing. Thank you everything to the point

[@westcoastSRT4]

Such an amazing video, giving all the socket and wrench sizes saved me so much time, i grabbed a tray and pulled them all ahead of time, very detailed, without this video i may have been in over my head, which means i would have to call my father in law (retired mechanic) but i only had to call him to discuss the color of the antifreeze that was in the truck originally

[@skipwilliam5639]

nice tip on the thermostat pin

[@user-yv5rg5rq3p]

If your gasket comes off of the thermostat when you pull it out, make sure you put the gasket ON the thermostat. Not behind it.. not in front of it. ON IT. RIP a gallon of coolant.😢

[@kiroshi76]

Thanks a million for making this video, very accurate, descriptive and just made this job so much easier!

[@69airride3]

Update.....watched your video last evening and changed my 2012 water pump this morning. Your tutorial was spot on. Thank you so much👌

[@gmdaddyrocks7730]

Your video worked perfect on my 2011 Dodge Ram and I can't thank you enough for making this video. You did an amazing job!

[@johnklinglesmith9678]

Thanks for all the info., my son and I are going to install a new water pump on a 2016 Ram this weekend and this video will heip alot.

[@elconejocl]

I'm not sure about the razor blade. I like to use a plastic scraper so I don't scratch the aluminum and create a problem where it may start to leak. Also a dish washing sponge with an abrasive side works well...that's just me though

[@psantini5963]

Motor city mechanic has a great video on bleeding coolant on 5.7 . Just remove bleeder and fill to coolant comes out and seal .

[@mikejdalgleish]

This might be the best instructional video I've ever found for any of my vehicles. Keep up the good work!

[@donaldrippetoe5246]

I really enjoy the content of this channel! The details and helpful tips to get the job done properly are very helpful! Thank you!

[@user-xz5ps5hj6v]

Excellent and very helpful video! I just ordered a new Mopar water pump for my '09 Dodge Ram and will be watching this again as I replace mine. Thanks for posting this!! 👍👍

Best video for this job. Detail is top notch.

[@brianmooney7009]

Excellent video 😊. Make it look easy. Ty

[@ajohnson999]

very well done video! totally saved me thank you.

[@bob4003]

Great video. I had a few different items on my 2010 ram 1500 I have 2 fans, one is electric mounted to the radiator. The electrical connection mounted to the fan shroud.

[@ba3rd580]

I appreciate your instruction, well done!

[@musclecarfanatic2404]

Great video. Nothing annoys me more then needless yibber yabber that adds several minutes or more to a video. Keep up the great work and great videos!

[@akstroker49]

Your guys videos are always so informative and complete well done and thank you for presenting

[@natelagrassa9337]

Why was the air box cover and sensor removed for this? Clearance for the AC lines to be out of the way?

[@user-wm3fm3xx6s]

Tha absolute best instructional video ever. Thank you so much for the content. Please keep up the work. Thanks again.

[@youbob28]

Thank you for this video. It was super helpful.

[@MrReis-vs7nb]

Great video, Ty!

[@HFDTAZ69]

Thank you so much for this video!!!

[@Sir.Veza_]

Very well thought out video. The Ram book time is three hours to replace the water pump. How long would it actually take assuming having all the correct tools and a hoist?

[@xmradio11]

Here's a tip to eliminate one disassembly step. After disconnecting the air intake snorkel from the throttle body and pulling off that other tube from the air filter box just lift out the entire airbox with the air intake snorkel still attached. No need to open up the airbox. It leaves more room and no worries of contaminating the K&N air filter. I know this vehicle doesn't have one but it should.

[@Sludge100001]

great video, thanks!!

[@FullMe7alJacke7]

You can also remove the reservoir hose and use something to suck the fluid out into a pan below. Once the vacuum is started gravity will do the rest.

[@82gump]

Very good video. Thank you.

[@TRQ]

+Bob Fish Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@robertw5763]

2 questions. What did you spray on the pullys near the end to clean off the coolant before putting the belt on? What was that screw you tightened on the new pump near that centered stud bolt? Looks like an Allen screw?

[@elconejocl]

Quick question, the coolant supposed to be pink or purple and the one you installed is green. Does it make a difference in your opinion to install that type of coolant. I know is kind of hard to find the correct one so it makes me wonder.

[@cuzimadapapushkian799]

I watched the video and bought the water pump and radiator from 1A, because I want to overhaul the system. However, I am having a lot of trouble removing the fan. The nut is frozen on. I tried the big wrench and hammer first, and when that didn't work, I bought a pneumatic fan clutch wrench like you used in the video. However, mine is not coming off. I'm anxious to get on with job. Do you have any suggestions? My compressor produces 5 CFM @ 90 psi. Do you know if that's enough power? Thanks

[@ljonesto]

Thank you

[@k24A1]

I had this exact procedure done to my 2014 Ram 2500, new water pump and thermostat, but now it sounds like my cooling fan is really loud upon acceleration. Any advice or input is appreciated!

[@dennistrujillo9360]

what's the timeline?

[@odaliReyes458]

Thanks brother 😁

[@TRQ]

+Explorando la naturaleza con odali Thanks for watching. Buy the part in this video on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@jonboy404]

What did he spray on the pulleys?

[@DirtySoy]

The best

[@skeech1979]

I was curious about bleeding the coolant when it’s full. Won’t running my truck with the cap off spray coolant everywhere?

[@johnsn10]

He’s the best host

[@guerramundial9868]

How much for a work like This?

[@landonbrown8482]

Thought I was gonna have to take the front of my truck off for this😅. This is nowhere near as bad as I was imagining

[@RaZilla420]

Instead of a bleeder screw my 17 Laramie has a hose port. All the superseded and aftermarket pumps all have the plug. My original pump was discontinued. Anyone know what the hose is for since I can’t find anything about that ?

[@theregotk]

my clutch fan moves when i start hammering it

[@gerrybrown2552]

Can you did this on a harder car instead of easy trucks

[@christopherort2889]

Wow. Now I really understand why it costs so much to have that done.

[@FullMe7alJacke7]

Hold up, that's the guy from 1A Auto...

[@TRQ]

+Casey Strong Thanks for watching our video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ

[@YoungE591]

This guy sounds something like chrisfix.

[@cutlasssupreme508]

Great Video... But That coolant was pink/ orange when he first drained it..... Not green.. Mopar uses Pink/ orange... I say pink /orange because in plain sight that coolant looks pink but the dealership says it's orange but there's a complete difference between " ORANGE COOLANT AND MOPARS PINKISH ORANGE COOLANT.... I say this because I own an DODGE CHARGER AND IT DOESN'T TAKE GREEN COOLANT BUT THE PINKISH COLOR COOLANT. GREAT VIDEO BUT PLEASE USE THE RECOMMEND COOLANT FOR MOPARS...FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS A MOPAR.. NOT TAKING AWAY FROM "Mr. Nice"

[@chapowiththesticks]

Bruh why y’all didn’t show each bolt one by one

[@matth1055]

This looks nothing like my 2011 dodge ram 🤦

[@gtstanton9785]

Probably because you have a V6

[@OCWatchCatMEOW]

Excellent video! I replaced all of this today. However, there is play in the new Serpentine Tensioner. Is this normal, or should this part be non-moving. Not sure if it's doing its job of tightening the Serpentine belt or if it needs to be tightened so that it has no movement??
