This was absolutely a perfect video for replacing a water pump, the best by far I have found. Thanks for the time to make it.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thank you for the great feedback. Hope our auto repair video that shows you how to replace the water pump on a GMC 2500 HD has helped you out.

Use a shop at to suck the coolant out ! No mess.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for the added tip!

[@talon146]

Doing this tomorrow and watching your vid as homework. After watching I'm sure it will go smooth *knock on wood* Thanks for taking the time to make the video and great job!

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Hope this helps you out

[@talon146]

@@HomeOwnerRepair The job went well! The only part I got hung up on was the fan clutch removal. Mine was stuck on hard and I had to use a cheater pipe for additional leverage to break it free. Thanks again!

[@AQWbladefire]

Beautiful disassembly and reassembly. Exactly how I like doing things; the right way. Just noticed a small leak near the water pump housing today on my 300k mile 2500. Easy job, but I’m contemplating doing the timing cover gasket as I’m already halfway there for that too. It’s literally the last gasket/oil leak that I have on my engine but I’m kinda scared of that harmonic bolt lol. I know not to reuse it but it’s the shear fact of being scared of braking it trying to get it off. I may work up the confidence to do it and replace some stuff behind it as well.

Doing this again after 30,000 miles replacing the thing. Thanks for the refresher, and no thank you to eBay trash parts.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Thanks for watching. Toss an AC Delco pump in it if you can. The aftermarket parts that are out there right now are complete garbage

Thanks for watching our channel!

ON older vehicles I was able to put a hose on the drain plug and drain straight into a pan. Can you do this on the newer GMC?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It's not something we have tried.

[@davidgarrison1988]

Wondering why you don't have the orange Dex Cool like mine ?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It was probably changed at one point

A couple of questions. I noticed you didn't use a torque wrench to bolt on the water pump. Any reason for that? The second question is, does AC Delco recommend that you lubricate the gaskets before reinstalling the pump? What type of grease did you use? Thanks. Great video.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

We used a little bit of wheel bearing grease. If you torque the water pump bolts to what is recommended you should be fine. In the 30+ years Steve and I have been working on cars we never had an issue using the method shown in the video.

[@goinhot9133]

Hitting the wire wheel with bolts is okay but you can take off the zinc coating

[@goinhot9133]

So you took zinc plated fasteners, removed the zinc, and then putanti-seize on them.. they weren’t stuck to start with, the zinc seemed to be working fine..

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

We didn't take anything off the method shown is fine.

[@jspaulding4106]

Me, never having done a water pump before: "Why would you drain the rad?" Me, after the first hose: "That wasn't too bad" After the second hose: "Oh, that's why you drained the rad"

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

Wahooooshhhh ...lol

[@elpasitostuntune.p.t.3625]

Do I have to trace the fan Base also??

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

You shouldn't have to.

[@jspaulding4106]

A link to the pressure test video would be helpful.

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

We currently do not have one. I'll keep this request in mind Thanks for watching.

[@jspaulding4106]

@@HomeOwnerRepair I figured it out. If someone can do the rest of this repair, and can buy, borrow or rent a pressure tester, they can probably figure that part out too.

[@Michael-vh1re]

Shop vac

Thanks for checking out our video

[@FeGolf]

What kind if greese is that?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

What part of the video are you referring to?

[@justinbingham6898]

How expensive is this job when it’s all said and done for you to do it for me?

[@HomeOwnerRepair]

It would probably cost a couple hundred bucks to repair.

[@justinbingham6898]

@@HomeOwnerRepair 200$. That’s really cheap. It’s probably more like 700$
