[@arnoldpalmeri]

I bought two intrepids with water pump issues. the 02 I bought I just rebuild the motor because the water pump leaked into the oil and spun all the bearings and bent all the rods. The second one I just did heads and timing set and gaskets. These arent that hard to work on. I use synthetic blend and change it every 3000 miles and inside the motor still looks nice and clean with no carbon. The only problem I had in both cars was the timing chain tensioner not having enough tension and suck back in. I only get noise when the engine is heated up and it sounds awful. My recommendation is not to use the chinese tensioners as the check valves in them are not always good. I bought 5 total between the two cars.

[@MegEvans]

Thanks for making this video, Chris! I bought a used 2008 Charger back in October, and it's been one nightmare after another. It seems the water pump may be next. I won't be attempting this repair myself since I'm a beginner, but it gives me a good idea as to what the garage will be doing to it should they accept the job.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Meg Evans no problem! I'm glad you found it helpful. It's definitely not that in depth but it certainly gives an idea of what's going on and what a pain in the butt it is. Not sure if your local to the Philadelphia area but if you were I'd be willing to take on the job for reasonable rate. Where abouts you from?

My weep hole was leaking for a few days. Thought it was the thermostat. All the water came out of the bottom while I was trying to take it to a shop. Debating on selling it, paying to get it fixed, or just setting it on fire.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Glad to hear you figured out it wasn't the thermostat! That tricks so many people! And yeah I kind of like your second option! Except just hire a bum to set it on fire and then come out and be like "oh my!" Lol jk

Shalanda Mckenna did you make sure that you're using antifreeze with proper boil protection? And also did you test or replace the pressure cap?

[@eddiecane8621]

[@c.cherry9616]

Same issue. How did you fix it.

[@Jon-O.]

Shalanda Mckenna you have to make sure the cooling system passes a pressure test at 15 lbs if so the cap is most likely bad causing the boiling. You also have to make sure the cooling system is completely bleed of all air too. Because air pockets can cause boiling and overheating too.

Abraham Brown on this job I did not because the customer was on a very tight budget and just wanted to get by. He is still driving the car today and it has not given him a problem. However if it was my own I would definitely replace the timing chain set. If it's a car you don't plan to keep for that long, then you'll probably be fine without replacing it

ok so im pretty sure this is whats happening to mine.When i crank my car in the morning its starts squealing for like 30 seconds then stops, thought it was a belt or something but i guess its the timing chain? From reading the comments. Resivour is fine but water stilll dripping out the bottom of this grid like thing everytime i put water in. Oil was a milky color, overheated about 3 weeks ago. Still cranks but not sure if the engine is knocking or not. Should i just get a new motor or replace the cylinder head and the water pump or will replacing the water pump and draining the engine and putting some oil treatment in do the trick? This vid was helpful even if u dont respond, thanks!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks for you comment and sorry to hear about your trouble! The timing chain will not cause any squealing noises. That could be a belt, power steering pump, etc. When you say water is dripping from a "grid like thing are you referring to the radiator? If you have milky oil then its very likely the head gaskets are leaking, or the pump is shot. Based on your description the car needs to be diagnosed further do determine the best move here. I will tell you this. If the engine was overheated excessively, i would certainly consider replacing it instead of repair. Thanks again and thumbs up is greatly appreciated.

Jessie Urge a shop will typically charge around 600 - $800 to complete this job. as far as replacing the timing chain goes, it would really depend on how many miles your engine has and what condition the chain / guides are in. I would recommend at least replacing the tensioner though since they are failure prone. I do not recommend cleaning all the sludge out unless you're going to just pick out some of the big chunks and areas. Once you start disturbing that stuff you're going to be in for a world of trouble in the future. In my years of working on engines I have found that it's best to just leave it where it is. thanks for the comment and if the video helped you out some give it a like. thanks

[@jessieurgea9899]

it did Thanks gave you a thumbs up!!

[@tevinhouse2764]

it only overheated twice and i havent drove it since

[@dodgeking9194]

I understand the advancement in technology but this is just plain stupid for a water pump. Mopar should be ashamed to put out such junk. But then again todays so called mopar isn't yesterdays Chrysler corporation You never had to go through all of that BS on an old 318 or 440 It was simple.

[@pigghedd8245]

I can’t get my timing chain cover off, and it’s such a pain in the ass, thank you for the video it’s got me as far as I’ve gotten, but I’m missing something, I took out 12 bolts I read 11 is all that’s needed, so now I’m lost, I’ve read that there are potentially bolts from the oil pan into the bottom timing chain cover? But I can’t find em, I’m so confused, is it absolutely necessary to take the valve covers off also and spark plugs to get access to bottom timing chain cover? I’ve been searching for the answer for 2-3 weeks now to no avail im worried about prying it off, cuz there’s no room or leverage without causing damage to the block or pulleys, does anyone understand this?

[@pigghedd8245]

Seriously fuck dodge for this.

[@2009KVFD976]

just did this job on the same car but water leaks when you pour it in the tank from the lower radiator neck. pump is new all seals replaced. any idea?

[@zaganfallenengel]

Hello, great video man... You know I am planning on doing this job on my 2.7l 2008 Charger... Can I contact you for some guiding?... Thanks in advance

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Hey, I appreciate your comment but unfortunately I don't really take any questions via email or phone. Armed with this video and the other ones that are on KZbin, you should be able to tackle this job without a problem. Just give yourself plenty of time and take things slow. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. I hope the video helped give you some insight on the job

[@zaganfallenengel]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow no problem... I really appreciate your time for replying my comment, and sure I will be checking your video more than one time haha... Thanks...

[@JasonPust76]

I hope you replaced your timing guide's if the shoe's have grove's worn in them. also replace tensioner & the thermostat. I've been there. Anti freeze "orange only" also only use full "synthetic oil only", that's why your motor is stained brown with sludge, That's the factory warning....

[@anon7039]

don't forget a new oil pump while everything is open which is also factory recommended when doing the water pump!

[@erikdevaney4781]

yes full synthetic not a mixed version either, but still a piss pour design. needs changed around every 70, 000 miles just to be on the safe side

[@screwdup_]

When the water pump messes up does it leak the water out of the engine or inside of it ?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Excellent question, I'm pretty sure I explained that toward the end of the video. The water pump weep hole has a port that goes through the engine block and then exits on the outside. It's nice to see that they least thought that far ahead! Lol. If the water pump weep hole leaked into the oil sump, then this would really be a trash design. Thanks for your comment, and I hope the video helps out

[@screwdup_]

I appreciate that thanks

[@leevans9693]

NoNonsenseKnowHow until your weep hole gets clogged like everything else on these smudged engines. Mine was dripping right down the front of engine. Right in oil pan. Ruined all rod bearings. The engine locked up. Spun 3 rods.

[@kylephillips7451]

I get a weird ticking that traces the rpms like a valve tap that comes and goes. It'll be there and then just stop while I'm driving. Its completely random. Sometimes it lasts for two days, and sometimes not even 20 minute's. Then it goes away for two or three weeks, then does it again. any ideas?

[@srj1874]

What is the name of that part where the coolant hose attaches to

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Are you referring to the coolant bypass tube?

[@dchristianson23]

Once the water pump starts slowly leaking from the wheep hole about a gallon every 2 weeks how long do you think it has. If you were flat broke and trying to limp it to continue to get to work and kids to school. How long you think I could make it

[@pigghedd8245]

Not long man )’:

[@dillonrogerson7234]

Would it be a waste of time if I did this on my 2.7 if antifreeze got to the oil?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

It depends. If the engine is not making any noise at the moment you should be fine. How did antifreeze get in the oil? Usually when the pump fails it leaks out the port on the side on the engine. Not into the oil sump.

[@sabrinaozuna9749]

I have same exact problem right now. What was your outcome?

[@stevegriffith7236]

If jumped time, and it being a interference head, is it b.c. a pretty good bet I did some valve or piston damage?

[@kiolittlestar]

Hey I am having a hard time to take out the cover where u can get access to the water pump. I took all the bolt and pulley and then now the cover is hard to take it out. Any ideas how to remove it ?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

As long as you have all the bolts out of it it should just pop right off from what I remember. I'm guessing you may have forgotten one of the bolts

[@kiolittlestar]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow i think it s the pulley when you take it out with the special tool there is still that middle center to take it out ?

[@kiolittlestar]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow all the bold are taken out and the middle pulley too but i think after u take out the pulley u still got to use that special took to take out or push to take out the cover ?

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@kiolittlestar yes. As I stated in the video you need a special puller to get that pulley off. There is a link in the description to one

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

@@kiolittlestar the pulley absolutely has to come off before the cover does.

ey can you explain me how to put the tensioner chain please

[@mdfurkaan8974]

Hi bro,plz help me out, I have 2007 Chrysler300, 2.7L v6,It was over heated and its water pump was gone and water and oil was mixed became milky oil.I replaced the new water pump and checked everything is fine nothing damaged, only water pump was broken,the water pump is new now but it's not starting :-(more than Three times open head and reset the timing chain, but didn't start the engine,don't know what's wrong with it.!Plz help me out.!!!

[@frayjc]

How did you take the timing cover off

[@pigghedd8245]

I also need to know

[@rickysmith686]

How do you release the tensioner

[@Titanic19127]

How does that engine even move a charger?

[@CheatedOnImTrash]

You didn't do that in the time you mentioned lol

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Why would I lie? Tell you what, you want to put some money up I will do one of these jobs for free for somebody and do a non-stop video on it to show you how long it takes me. Let's make it $1,000. It will be a charity repair job. Shouldn't be too hard to find a 2.7 l that needs a water pump. Lol

[@CheatedOnImTrash]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow naw. I'll believe you. But I charge 50$ an hour billable. There's no way I'm doing that job for 250$. Cleaning surfaces and fooling with the chain and timing I will give it an estimate of 800$ or they can go somewhere else

[@CheatedOnImTrash]

@@NoNonsenseKnowHow sorry if I sound sceptical. I had a customer show me your video saying it only took this guy 5 hours to do all the work. They can go to you.

[@randyulmer]

just curious, is it common for the coolant to escape into the oil pan when the water pump goes bad or should I be looking at something else to cause my oil pan to fill up with coolant

[@masonmitchell271]

The water pump starts to wear out at the 70,000 miles mark and gets worse. it's best to change it every 70,000 miles even though they say to at 100,000. Just change it at 70,000 to prevent coolant from leaking into your oil pan.

[@kylephillips7451]

are the lifters tough to get out and back in?
