Water Pump Coolant Leak! 2019 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi

[@t-bone43]

Top tip for any diy guys doing this on a 5.7 Hemi. Take the water pump bolts off 1 at a time & put them in the holes on the new pump. When you get all the bolts off & the old pump loose transfer all the bolts 1 by 1 to the corresponding holes on the old pump. Seems like a lot of back & forthing but there’s like 4 different lengths of bolts on that unit & you don’t want to put a long 1 in a medium length hole & bust the block trying to tighten it down.

Ray. It takes a special individual to watch your sarcastic videos for which I was in the automotive repair industry for 35 yrs. Keep up the great sarcastic remarks. Who cares about the haters. Thanks Ray.

Hi Ray, I feel bad now watching your videos, as I hurt my back yesterday trying to change spark plugs and wires. And I didn’t quite get the job done prior to injury! Last night I watched the Sarah lady on KZbin. She’s this slender girl and took an engine out and didn’t get dirty, while I get covered with engine nasties and hurt my back changing spark plugs. Any remaining male ego I had is shattered! I must go to the kitchen and do dishes, when my back stops hurting! 😢

[@michaelemerson7646]

Rainmaker, in my 20 yrs of doing mechanic work, I've never seen anyone remove a lower radiator hose from a waterpump with an air chisel. Kudos 👏 for not shooting the chisel thru the water hose. When I worked as a mechanic in the mid 70's to the 80's, repairs were simpler. You didn't have to dismantle the engine to replace a common wear item.

[@deplorablelibertarian]

Well...if the manufacturer didn't apply 165,000 pounds of pressure to tighten it; ray wouldn't need to use the air chisel.

[@michaelemerson7646]

@deplorablelibertarian I get it! This is what fast paced technology has gone towards. I attended seminars from manufacturers in the early 80's when HEI ignition replaced points and plugs. They told us their desire was to someday put parts stores out of business, require specialized tools to put the DIY shade tree out and force you to a dealership shop for OEM parts and repairs to boost profits for dealerships and manufacturers only parts.

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS!! The triumphant return of the frustrated pliers can only mean one thing... THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF PUSSED OFF SNARKY TECHNICIAN!! I do not think we have witnessed the snarky technician in a couple of years, going back to "the old shop/stealership". The trolls and keyboard "warriors" have awakened the beast lol. Good sir it truly has been awhile since we have had the "pleasure" of an overload of the art of sarcasm that you are extremely capable of producing... and the chuckle it exudes from those of us who have here long enough to remember the debut of the "frustrated" as well as the "angry" pliers lol. I am very grateful that you now own and principle decision maker of how employees are truly appreciated and treated, a true night and day difference. That being said I must admit a visit from "snarky" technician provides and extra element of humor for O.G.'s who have been here from almost the beginning. Keep up the amazing work, snarkiness and all.🙏💜

[@SouthernIllinoisShortwave]

I've been around cars since I was 8 back in 1974. My Father was a mechanic for Dodge for 37 years. I used to get out of grade school and walk down to the dealership where he worked. He would let me take out spark plugs things like that Fast forward. My first job right after HS graduation back in 1985 was at Sears Auto Center. Then at a local garage. Back then I thought how crazy it was to take 3 things off just to get access to something. I look back now, and I realize it wasn't that bad compared to today. I'm semi retired from auto repair now thanks to an accident I was in a few years ago. Left my back and neck in not great shape. But I still do a few little things out of my garage at home. I always enjoy Ray's videos. It takes me back to a time when I was at the shop almost every day. I was young, a lot of years ahead, big plans. Some worked out, some didn't. I had good days at work and a good relationship with everyone I worked with. But, I had some off days and weird customers as well but I got through it all. The world is a different place now, somethings better some not. But I look forward to Ray's videos. It's not only nice to watch, but I like to listen to Ray's commentary. Just takes me back to the shop talk we all used to do.

This is the exact setup i have in my 2013 Ram 1500. This is an excellent tutorial for when I need to change my water pump. I have 120K miles, so I'm sure it won't be long.

[@ken2tou]

Same here. 2013. I’m glad to say, I’ve not had to replace the water pump yet. Only 73k miles so far.

[@bernie472]

Mine is a 14' Charger R/T. I know, not exactly the same, but had to do my water pump by my own fault. I busted off a pully bolt in the pump for one of the idler pully's, and had to replace the pump, because I couldn't get the broken bolt out. Idiot on my part, but was easy. Also never had an easier, or quicker time bleeding the cooling system. One thing I learned, never use the gasket the pump comes with, always get another gasket. Preferably a Fel Pro brand.

[@markcondrey2297]

Those water pumps are rated for 100k. Mine failed at 147,000. They aren’t too hard to change out after you get the clutch fan reverse thread nut broke free.

[@jakewhite-fs1us]

Just started watching your videos about a month or so ago while surfing KZbin. I have a Ram 1500 and while replacing my water pump, I placed the extracted screws to the corresponding holes of the new water pump to alleviate the guess work of which screw goes where. Keep up the good work.

[@jamescole6846]

It never ceases to amaze me how you can remember where every little bolt goes back in place with all the stuff you have laying around your workbench. That sh*t would have taken me all day with stencils and diagrams and sharpie markers marking every bolt and the corresponding holes etc...

Hi Ray, I am no mechanic, just an old pensioner working on small engines and motorcycles to keep me busy. I really love to watch you work and all your comments while you work. Before I became a pensioner I was a shift supervisor in underground mines.

[@7094spanky]

Have a similar truck. Had a water pump go out on me about 150 miles from home. Babied it home and had to change it out. I was also surprised about the amount and different size of bolts. Of course the upper radiator nipple then cracked a few 100 meters les later. Good times. Now just recently the evaporator sprung a leak. That one was a mechanic repair that I gladly paid for

[@richardgraziade3867]

When taking pump apart, insert bolts As you take them out into new pump. Insert them in the old pump once out Place the new pump in position and insert bolts as positioned originally. This saves time and guess work

Not too long ago, my Tribute's temp would rise and fall, but upon checking, there was coolant in the reservoir. I saw no leaks. Couldn't figure out what was wrong. Turned out, the reservoir return was blocked up and the engine was running bone dry. Luckily, I caught it just in time before major problems occurred. Had the system flushed and tested along with a new water pump and a new thermostat. Been running fine since. Always nice to see Lauren.

Good job Ray. Since these water pumps are flat on the mating side, I always take the new one and set it on a box. Then as I remove the bolts I push them through the new pump sitting on my box. This way I don’t lose the length order.

Morning. Ray for you experienced mechs taking all those pump bolts out and laying them all over is no issue. I wanted to mention to unexperienced mechs to get a cardboard and as you take out the bolts put them into the cardboard so you know where each bolt came out. Will save time in the long run. The fan nut that was reverse threads. This is used a lot on Oxygen systems so you don't hook a greased line up to O-2. There is notches on the high spots of the nut to indicate it's reverse threads.
