Well done, true DIY spirit and paying extra for OEM is always a good thing!

[@THEJOEDARKCHANNEL]

Thanks for posting these! This video and a few others were the one I watched before I tackled this job. The suggestion was to place a piece of cardboard

[@FixItNick]

Glad it helped some

[@DeterminedVeteran]

Yeah some things you can’t go aftermarket ... a water pump or crucial parts should always be OEM.... good job pointing that out

[@wycks-5095]

cold air intake and turbo down exhaust....I would recommend putting all new hoses on as well

[@josephcirelli9642]

Great video for the DIYer! Been thinking about doing a water pump & fan clutch preventive maintenance for my ‘05 F-350 6.0L. The OEM water pump has a plastic blade & I want to replace it with a aftermarket metal blade for reliability. Thanks for all you do making your videos!

[@ptaszek1983]

I like that you tackle the task yourself :) Keep it up

[@radjvalieff]

I think it would be a good idea to get rid of the fan visco coupling and install electric fan. That will save some fuel, reduce bearing load in pulleys, the truck will be more quite in common. Not too much work to do, so why not?

[@JonJones-lb7nd]

Because an electric fan can fail whereas a mechanical cannot

[@iainf6]

Well done getting that coupling loose 👍👏👏👏👏 looking fwd to getting this done and ready to rock n roll 🎉🎉😎😎😎 hope that we get some jobs that your apprentice can help with. Have a good weekend buddy 👍

[@jamesbutler1862]

Its called a weep hole just fyi

[@hazegoodman6666]

absolutely love your project

[@alanarmstrong2323]

I am sorry very proud of you keep up the good work !

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very impressive you got very creative for this project good job

[@FixItNick]

Don’t we all have to working in cars

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@FixItNick very true brother very true

[@walkergriggs3965]

So it turns in the normal direction to take off?

[@dawiesmuts6173]

Oil and water pump's should always be oem

[@minime808]

1:25. The hole at the bottom of the pump shaft is called "weep hole"

[@FixItNick]

I learned that soon after lol

[@LivingOnWheels]

Not that this helps you now but if you just put a big wrench on the fan nut and give it a few hard hits with a hammer. That is usually enough the break it free. Basically uses the whole Newtons 3rd law thing. Either way, nice job being creative!

[@ambush13685]

Superb

[@truckerc-moe5126]

That whole is called the weep hole

[@FixItNick]

Thx bro, never cared to know what it does had gaskets leak never from hole, I’m assuming it’s when pump starts failing?

[@AK-Star007]

long working hours ahead :)

[@edwardsfrank4790]

👍

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Fan nut should be a 42mm

[@FixItNick]

Have no idea lol

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@FixItNick I was actually letting you know it is a 42 mm

If you bought a new water pump then I’ll assume you had intentions of putting it in. That being said why would you not remove coolant tank giving yourself more room to work. Also you talk to much. No one is really interested in your personal life. Only the method to remove fan pulley. Glad you at least got it loose
