2005 chevy Silverado 5.3 water pump replacement 

If you only knew how happy this made me, I changed my own serpentine belt, thermostat and my water pump after watching this and it was so easy! Thank you for the experience, and for saving me about 400 dollars!!

man i was wondering what chrisitan slater was doing now...have not seen him making movies in a while...hey thanks christian..true romance was the best!

Video looks like it's a doable job for me. The shop wanted almost $900.00 for parts and labor. Thanks!

Great video step by step how to replace the water pump the only thing that is different is there are 6-10mm bolts holding the water pump on 3 on each side

Thankyou very much I used your video to replace the water pump on my 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500, 2wd. Great video! I am now a subscriber! Thanks again

You did a great job of removing and installing the pump. Several things missing here though. 1. Removing Shroud instructions. 2. Removing the water pump gaskets, demonstration. ( I used a sharp putty knife, then a small round buffing pad.) Prepping the gasket surface is the hardest thing about the install. 3. Cleaning the bolts, shank and threads. 4. Using RTV is not the norm for the threads of the bolts. If anything, I put a light coat of grease on the shank and a thin coat of anti seize on the threads. The RTV gets into the thread holes and clogs them up. The anti seize is to keep dissimilar metal from oxidizing. The bolts are aluminum alloy and the block is steel. 5. I always use a torque wrench, always. Guessing at the torque isn't a good idea. To much torque can ruin the threads of the bolts and on the block holes. I use a torque wrench for everything. 6. While every thing is out, I check the lower belt for cracks and rot. 7. One last item: Showing how to take the clutch fan off is important. Also it's recommended to change out the clutch fan with a new one when you have to change the water pump. Reason: The fan clutch can cause the water pump to go bad as well as the water pump to cause the clutch fan to go bad. This is a highly recommended suggestion. Thanks for the tutorial. Don't get me wrong, you did a swell job. I enjoyed the video.

Great Video , I want to change a water pump on a 2005 Chevy and add a quick belt to it also.

Very helpful my water pump has been has a medium leak was going to pay a mechanic to do it im going to take a shot at it if I can change a serpentine belt and change a alternator I could probably change the water pump I’m going to take a shot at it thanks for the video content it was very descriptive 🤔👍

Great video! Helped me a lot changing the pump on my sons truck, thank you

Thankyou for showing viedo i have to do this job by myself i have a few tools never tried anything like this in my lfe but going to give it a shot i have a 4x4 2006 lifted truck instead of 800 at a shop i cannot afford why not try it myself my new pump was 125 .

I always think of something to say about these repair vids, but them I remember these guys do it one handed while looking through a camera. Lmao

Very informative.

Nice fan, fan clutch and fan shroud yo

You’re the fuckin man. SUBSCRIBED

helpfull thank you

Peacock.

Great video thanks!

Awesome video..covered everything that needed to be covered. Im going to change my water pump on my 2005 chevy silverado this upcoming week. May i suggest an electric ratchet? The milwuakee will torque those stubborn bolts right off.

very good video 👍. Is it the same water pump on Avalanche 2008?

Great video. By the way, where are you located? I have to get my pump replaced the same year and model truck in the video. Thanks.

So you use the o-ring and gasket on tstat?

does this work the same way with chevy avalanche 2004? removing water pump. my water pump is making a horrible noise and leaking. gonna tackle it this weekend..

Pure concentrate Antifreeze only. 50/50 No No

Any idea on how much coolant you had to put back in?

Are the 6 bolt that hold the water pump different sizes

He put the same worn out tensioner pully back on it. Why?

How did you know it was the pump and not just the gasket?

How did you bleed the air out

I replaced my water pump but the coolant ran straight out when I poured it in. What do I need to check?

No offense but the one thing I needed to see is the thing you didn’t show.

That thermostat doesn't come out of that housing its all 1 piece

Where is the video that shows how you diagnose that noise? I have to change my water pump and address that same noise...I was thinking it was one of the pulleys?

What is a price range to have a good shop do this, not a scammer shop a good shop.. 06 silverado 1500 hd 6.0
