How To Replace Water Pump - Chevy Avalanche, GMC Sierra 4.8l 5.3l 6.0L

[@dalemoore7416]

Thank you for a straightforward tutorial. No intro to deal with, no 5 minute verbal explanation, just straight to it. This is the kind of KZbin tutorials that need to be out there.

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂 really appreciate it

[@bensonhedges5471]

Totally agree!

[@brianandcindy1]

And no stupid music to distract!

[@uplatejay]

Hands Down This is the BEST INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO for replacing the water pump.....PERIOD. Its Perfect!

[@bensonhedges5471]

This is the BEST tutorial on how to replace a water pump....and I have seen a lot of them. Easy to understand, good clear video, and to the point. GREAT JOB!

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you very much🙂 really appreciate it

Absolutely the best instructional video on KZbin for automotive I have seen! After seeing this video on replacing the water pump, I decided to do it myself. Even the quality of the video (lighting, audio, and steps) were well done and I do video/film production for a living. I subscribed to your channel just because of this video.

[@chadfelmet6934]

Currently in the middle of changing my water pump using your video, but its already been a huge help, and watching it fully, I can tell I'll be able to complete it shortly, A-Z. Very thorough, not skipping certain actions here and there like some videos. Thanks for your help bro!🤜🤛

[@MolecularDrift]

Thank you sir! Of all of the “how-to’s”, yours is the best one and I wish I found yours first! The video step-by-step and your commentary is fantastic!

[@h.camacho4800]

Best step by step video I've seen, and I seen alot, great job man thanks

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂

[@FelixRosas10]

Man, thank you! I pretty much know nothing about cars, only ever changed tires, oil, and brakes. This video was the BEST guide I found. Got it all done pretty quickly. Thank you! Subscribed. 💪🏽

[@matthewwinters6857]

Brother THANK YOU! HELPED ME FIGURE OUT MY WATERPUMP AND REALLY WENT QUICKER THAN I THOUGHT. U DA BEST

[@AcerArtsOfficial]

the only person to actually put part numbers!! thank you sir! I have a 1st gen ls water pump so I am double checking I'm getting the right stuff.

[@jerraybrown1830]

This is the best video out on how to change a water pump hands down. I gotta give it a 9 out of 10 stars just because he didn’t explain how to put the serpentine belt back on lol but I figured it out. Gratitude

[@Ferterpeep]

phenomenal video, ive never seen an automotive step by step tutorial done so well!

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂

[@FaL0610]

Just saved me $500 bucks, thanks dude.

[@Patrick-er7xb]

How long did it take to complete this job? Was quoted 6 hours for 700$!!! Might do it myself instead

[@Pitbullempirek]

@@Patrick-er7xbif you gather all tools, parts, fluids ahead of time, it will probably take 2 hours as a first timer, while watching and pausing this video!

[@dougarnoldi2332]

Wow. Just like all the other comments! This video was right on point very thorough i knew it was my waterpump going out. And looking under the hood was kinda overwhelming i was somewhat doubtful thatvi would ne able to pull it off. But with your help it really wasnt hard at all. You saved me a minimum of 600 bucks i cant tell you how thankful i am. And from now in i will HIGHLY recommend your videos to everyone. Again thank you so much your directions were very clear and easy to understand and follow. Great job buddy!!!

[@TheDragggg]

I was stressed because I’m suspecting my water pump has a leak, but with this video I’m confident I’ll be able to replace it successfully. Thank you!

[@WUMA-WattsUp]

Excellent video. I'm confident I can permform a water-pump job on my Avalanche now! Thanks for sharing!!! New sunscriber!

[@russellstewart5414]

Great job and the pacing of the video allows us at home to do the job basically in real time. Mine was a Ford but the same base process and it took about 1 hr . Keep bringing us great content, we appreciate your hard work

[@iBackshift]

Super good video. No distracting music or captions. Just straight up work. 5 stars! Ermm, note to self; dont buy a GMB water pump since he's changing it out.

[@LOYALONESTILL]

Excellent clarity, explanation, shortcuts, which make it understandable to everyone. Nice job !

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂

[@jrfluellyn1077]

I appreciate you very much brother! Using your video, I was able to replace my leaking water pump. Peace & love to you and your family.

[@morgansgames]

I will reitterate what others have said: thorough yet concise with just the right amount of details and demonstration with the important pointers and pitfalls to avoid. (I especially like that you included the different torque specs AS you explained the process of reassembly! Could I have looked them up, sure, but you were helpful and had them right there. Perfect!) Subbed!

[@Gregasaki]

Damm dude, that’s one hell of a high quality how to video.

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂

[@yjandy7762]

Great job sir! I've done plenty of work on my older Jeeps but was a little unsure of working on my Chevy Avalanche I j purchased about a year ago but you've given the me the confidence to .This has to be One of the best and most thorough step by step automotive videos I've seen.

Great tutorial. Detailed, including the size sockets needed. Thanks!

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂

[@alexmata296]

Thank you bro! You just saved me a ton of time and money. I had had a mechanic install my water pump last but idk what went wrong. Anyways I decided to change it myself today and everything went as smooth as your video.

[@AdrianHinojosa-w6f]

might be able to actually pull this off thanks to your video, watched every second of it

[@scottstuart7847]

Great video and perfect tutorial! Also thank you for not using gobs of rtv gasket maker like most ppl do

[@miketwilson]

Thank you very much for this video. I really like your style over some of the big brand store tutorials. I was just about to take my truck to the shop because I had to do the swap outside in 30-35 degree weather. It took me 3 hours with most of the time running in to get warm. Actual swap time was between 45 minutes to an hour. ( My fan was much harder to get off. ) Ordered Silicone radiator hoses with money I saved doing it myself. Thanks again.

[@backyardchevy328]

Great job🙂👍 thank you🙂

[@sean2148]

I felt zen like every time you bumped the pulley with the socket. 😆 Thank you sir for a very good straight forward tutorial.

[@backyardchevy328]

Lol hummmmmm, well i did hit it often so must of been a zen-ful experience🙂

I was going to order online to save some cash but might just take it to the part store so I don’t have to return a wrong part.

[@gtownsend90]

@@megancoaker5775 it was extremely easy, took me maybe 20 mins to get the old one off if I remember correctly, then another 20 to get the new one installed. Replaced the thermostat and filled with coolant and was back up and running. I found a new Murray pump on eBay for around $60

[@williamrogers733]

[@johnnyconrad4859]

Good video I learned from replacing these pump to go back with gm parts. Aftermarket parts don't last and sometimes leak

[@thecuss6817]

Excellent video. I've done WP twice, on Yukon, same except had electric radiator fans.

[@tonyb7748]

This video is amazing and well edited. I agree with the other reviewers as such. However I will be handing this repair over to the mechanic. As a small business owner and full time employee I cannot justify this amount of work for one part . I would also want the belt , tensioner and Rad/heat hoses replaced. Good stuff man ! If you have a patreon let me know.

[@backyardchevy328]

Thank you🙂 i really appreciate it..yea i see what u mean it does require a lot of time to do..but least u know whats involved..so they wont overcharge u

[@blaisedoerr2852]

Very helpful video. I especially like your idea for holding the water pump pulley with a C-Clamp to remove the fan. Thank You !

Extremely helpful..I saw in other videos people put RTV and the gaskets. Is the RTV necessary? Or fine without

[@backyardchevy328]

They do that so the gasket doesnt move or fall off..if u can get away without using it..its best..i just use the bolts to hold the gasket
