How To Replace Water Pump (2017 Ram 3500 6.7 Cummins)

[@antmoundlogistics]

That 2X4 was a genius move. Thanks this my third time replacing it with the dealership recall.

[@ShaneTurner-w9x]

This is the best videos I have watched. I got 440 thousand miles on my 2017. I will change my water pump soon

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Thank you. Happy it could be of some help to you. Have a Blessed Day Friend. Justin

[@LairdKenneth]

This is likely the clearest instructions that I have seen so far. Thanks. The dealer wanted over$1000 to do this.

I love doing my own work and like to share to help others. Sometime it is hard to get good video when working on vehicles. But hopefully they will be good enough to help someone. Thanks for watching and have a Blessed Day Friend. Justin

Good point of just using a wood block to push the fan shroud back free up room.

Is there a website to order OEM from Cummins

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

I bought mine from Geno's garage. Best I remember is they have different options for you to buy. I hope this helps. Justin

[@brock5176]

@@homegrowncountryhomeplaceis Geno’s garage OEM? looks like it by the package in the video

[@eppsfixnit83]

how much water drains out when you pulled the pump? Is there any way to pull the pump without draining it all down the front of the block and all over the AC compressor?

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Seems like maybe couple of gallons at least. Reguardless if you drain the radiator, you will have q good bit come out the block. Sorry I can't rememember the ecact amount. Have a Blessed Day Friend. Justin

[@NoblesTx]

About how much coolant did you have to add back to the system?

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

I'm sorry but it is hard for me to remember. It seems like I bought maybe 4 gallons of full strength and diluted it 50/50 myself. Can't remember if I used all 4 gallons. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

[@richrina3031]

Awesome video brother. My pump went out on me 2 days ago my 2017. What other parts you recommend replacing or looking out for. I'm doing hotshot so I just want be safe and know what are common parts that should be looked at and replaced on these trucks besides normal oil changes? Thanks and keep up the great job👍

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Your welcome. Just check your idler and tensioner pulleys for bearing noise or roughness. Also replace the belt if needed. My fan clutch was not operating like it should so I replaced it with OE part. Also replaced my fan blade because of some cracking. Other than that, just routine maintenance. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

[@tannerdalton7625]

When you changed your water pump did your truck throw an engine code?

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

It didn't. Make sure you plug up any connectors that you unplugged. Another thing it might set a code if you cycled your key on for some reason with a connector unplugged. Hope this helps. Have a Blessed Day Friend. Justin

[@thebibletrain8297]

Hope all is well! very Interesting,, my 99 dodge 2500 Cummins has 275,000 miles on the original water pump.

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

Hello friend, good to hear from you. Them model trucks like you have are awesome. Them 5.9 engines are bulletproof. Hope you are doing well. Have a Blessed Day Friend. Justin

[@thebibletrain8297]

@@homegrowncountryhomeplace thank you my friend, we are doing well. Isn’t it a shame that all truck manufacturers have lowered the quality of their trucks, and raised the prices, a new truck cost more than my first house. I’ll just keep caring for my two old dodge Cummins trucks till Christ returns or I take that long dirt nap,which ever comes first. Take care and may God richly bless you.

[@DennisonLeonard]

What's the first sign if, water pump is going bad?

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]

So usually it would be anti-freeze leaking from the water pump or bearing noise from a worn bearing or see if you can feel looseness in bearing by pulling up and down on the pulley or if it is has a wobble in the pulley while the engine is running. The seal would leak from a worn bearing. Take tension off of belt to get a real feel of how much play is in bearing. A little is alright but if you have any significant movement, replace it. Also if any movement and 100 to 150,000 miles, I would replace it. They can go out all at once when bearings are getting worn. Have a Blessed Day Friend! Justin

I have 385,000 on my 2017. About to replace mine.

[@homegrowncountryhomeplace]
