We finally get down to removing the water pump and half just about reached the half way mark. The pump comes out easily thru the fender opening without any issues. The only issue is trying the get the gasket free from the housing, so use a pry bar and make sure all 5 bolts are out of the water pump. Make sure you use a catch pan of some sort for the antifreeze that will come out once the pump is removed. For those who didn't make a diagram of the serpentine belt routing.....I got you covered. There is a diagram in the video as well as a repeat of the torque specs for the pump and the pulley as well if you so desire.

Thanks for providing the belt diagram. I had to replace the alternator on 200 with the 2.4L and did not make a diagram or take a picture before removing the alternator. I was almost ready to spend $30 for a book.

+Gregory Johnson Your welcome. Thanks for finding the video and for watching. Make sure to subscribe, I have plenty more videos that may help.

Thanks now i know how to fix my sister's journey

[@michaeldancy7038]

I have replaced the thermostat, coolant sensor. Still overheating. Would you advise to change the water pump? Also, does this process apply to the dodge journey as well. It has a 2.4l

[@kamerons76]

I have a coolant leak somewhere but no spots anywhere I found with the house then took it to dodge they said it was good I did a combustion gas leak test it passed so head gasket is fine but I still have a slow leak but theirs no coolant anywhere it just keeps going missing and I just had dodge flush the system because they said it was good people keep saying the tstat housing but wouldn’t I see it drip I can do the work myself but does that make sense that the tstat would cause coolant to go missing without a visible leak

[@unacceptablefullsender1878]

Hi there I have the same issue did you find out the root cause of your missing coolant?

[@bradplumb64]

Great detailed video!

Some parts are showing the water pump mounted on a housing. Is it better to buy just the water pump or the one with the water pump already mounted on the housing that bolts to the block? And would it be more difficult to get to the housing bolts? Would it all be about the same for a 2010 Avenger 2.4?

[@darryllindsey8197]

My water pump came with metal sticking out two holes is there anyway to get them off ?

[@jameseldridge673]

Where could I find schematics of the location on everything? I just replaced head gasket on 2014 journey 2.4. I am wanting to see if I am replacing everything correctly

[@breongrant4424]

I have a 2.4 the car running hot I changed both thermostats could it be the water pump??

[@ryanlopez4371]

Having the same problem on the 2011 dodge Avenger...also changed both thermostats...moving to the water pump tomorrow

[@unacceptablefullsender1878]

I also have 2.4l. changed thermostats and still running hot gets up to 3/4 on the temp gauge. Did changing the pump fix your issues? Thanks guys.

[@sembilanrz9611]

excuse me, i want to ask. i have a dodge journey 2.4l sxt 2012. the problem i'm facing is. my car won't start. the scan says U0100 has problem. i have checked PCM, but PCM is no problem. can you help me to solve the problem that

[@HOTRODRICO]

Just wondering did you apply any sealant on the water pump gasket ? Like the grey water --pump / thermostat housing sealant by permatex ? thanks great vids

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+HOTRODRICO Morning. The gasket that came with the waterpump is actually a metal gasket. I didn't have to use any sealant on this one but it surely requires a good clean surface, but being that its a metal gasket....there wont be any previous paper gasket material left behind so it should be almost clean to begin with.

I have a 2013 avenger. It showed the check engine light and the thermostat was replaced. Now, it makes a hissing sound whenever I use the a.c for awhile and turn off the engine. What's causing the hissing sound?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Hard to say without hearing it myself and being able to get my hands on it. If it all happened at the same time then I would recommend double checking everything that was removed during the t-stat removal. It may or may not be related. My Durango Hvac system makes a hiss for a short time when the system is turned on and I believe most ikely that its the expansion block causing it....just havent gotten around to replacing it yet to see if any change. Otherwise nothing is coming to mind at the moment that could be related to the repair and the noise. Thanks for asking and thanks for watching. Make sure to subscribe.

[@PR-yl4id]

@@MotorCityMechanic Thanks. I'll get it checked out. Does the 2013 come with 2 thermostats?

[@fadedn8v314]

My car is not overheating but it's just leaking Everytime I start it up. Think it's the waterpump failing.? No check engine light on also.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Typically its the thermostat housing leaking on that engine. I recommend pressure testing the cooling system to see if you can pinpoint where it is coming from.

[@banga8080]

Thanks bro you're a life saver But when the car cooled off it would start do u have a solution for that

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Are you saying "it wouldn't start"?

[@banga8080]

Thanks

Would you know if the OEM Pump Impeller was Plastic or Metal?

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I havent seen one in years.....actually that video was most likely the last. I dont know for sure if they are plastic or metal.

[@davidquiros7559]

@@MotorCityMechanic is outside metal and inside the rotor is plastic.

[@banga8080]

I'm trying to replace the thermostats on the avenger how to get to the or I have replace the whole water assembly

[@MotorCityMechanic]

You will need to remove the whole assembly because one thermostat is sandwiched between the housing and the cylinder head. The other is removed by unbolting the hose neck from the housing,. I dont have any videos on this as of yet so please excuse. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already so that you get notified when videos such as that get uploaded.

Dp the specs work for a 2012?

That was the code

[@banga8080]

Yeah it won't start Its just spinning

[@MotorCityMechanic]

How hot did it get? Have you checked for any codes yet?

[@banga8080]

Coolant sensor failure

Was that what you found wrong or the code you found?
