In this video i show how to change the water pump on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Hopefully this diy video will help you change yours! Leave comments to help others. If you like this video give me a thumbs up, like, share and subscribe!
@@vee950 with the info provided in the video, if you still can't discern the intermediate steps, then you'd be best to just take it to a mechanic instead of trying to be insulting in the comment section on a 3yo video on youtube that the guy didn't even have to post.
@@j.b.3113 I been working on 4.0 engines about 14years sir mines and other people's but when explaining things to people its best to detail everything people leave a lot out you may can read between the lines but others can't you shouldn't be so fast to snap back um not being offensive
@@vee950 I've also been working on vehicles for a long time, but I'm not the type of person to just go and make a rude reply on someone else's comment. Normally I try to keep my criticisms constructive and friendly. Maybe be a little more tactful in the future. Have a good Monday, sir.
This is a surprisingly good walk through on the steps to change a cater wooler. Sometimes it borderlines on an ASMR video, but that's just me lol. IMPORTANT TIP: Some water pumps are pipe threaded, meaning, the inlet tube may not thread on quite all the way! it's fine, just be sure to use teflon!
Interesting how the location of the ancillaries varies: I have a '96 XJ 4 litre which is right hand drive, Japan spec. and I changed the water pump last weekend. On mine the aircon compressor is mounted very low down on the left side of the engine, above that is a substantial aluminium bracket holding the mechanical fan and above that is the power steering pump. The fan has a shroud of its own and to the right of the radiator is mounted the electric fan in its own shroud which is easily removed. The alternator is mounted high up on the right side of the engine and the alternator is used to adjust the belt tension. Just below the alternator are 2 idlers. Nothing is mounted on the water pump flange except the pulley. The hose clip securing the bottom hose to the pump was a pig to get at but apart from that the job was straightforward.
Thanks for making this video. I have just finished replacing my 1997 RHD Grand Cherokee and the steps were almost identical (including the handy bucket step to catch the unexpected extra coolant :-) ). Thanks to this video I had a pretty good idea of what i was in for so things went to plan and she is now back in one piece and running.
the how the why and the wrench sizes , with great camera angle and resolution , 5 stars dude !!!!! thanks , def a pos pump but the rest of that straight six is pretty solid
You definitely help me out bro. I had to swap my radiator out and decided to go ahead and put in a new water pump and thermostat in serpentine belt. I got a late start so I'm going to be sleeping in my Jeep tonight at the shop but that ain't no mountain for a climber. Thank you my friend and have a Merry Christmas!
Great video, sir. I'm about to go pick up my new water pump/fan clutch assembly. Figured my clutch was bad for my fan since I can just spin it and it has zero resistance to it. Thanks again!
Thank you for this awesome video, i found my self in a jam when changing the water pump on my jgc, so i went to beautiful youtube and as always found the answer to my question. Thank you again for taking the time to make this video👍🏼
This has helped me tremendously!! Thanks for a GREAT and EXCEPTIONALLY DETAILED video!! Awesome!! I was advised that I should do my fan clutch too so showing how to remove the fan blade and shroud is also a great help. Thanks again!!
I'm doing the same thing now I was going to replace the new water pump because it was missing bolts, that's the way they come already stupid now much more work needed to take off the old bolts, hope I have nuts to fit looks like I have to bring old water pump to home depot to match up the nuts . thanks
While changing my water pump, thermo. & fan clutch my radiator drain plug stripped out, it was VERY HARD COMING OUT ? GARBAGE PLASTIC & IT'S NOT LIKE YOURS ON MY 97, FINE THREADS ? I wrapped a bunch of Teflon tape around it & it finally stopped leaking. I have a new RAD. but am waiting for spring to put it in then change my oil pan gasket, timing chain & gears. IT'S NEVER ENDING RIGHT NOW FOR MY 97 EVERYTHING NEEDS REPLACING BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FOR OVER A 20 YEAR VEHICLE ? I thought it was ready for winter but little did I know the JEEP HAD OTHER PLANS, IT'S A JEEP THING I KEEP TELLING MYSELF, I LOVE THEM.
Great Video. Have the same vehicle and guess what....coolant all over the driveway tonight. Thought it was the lower hose at first but I'm not that lucky. This video is exactly what I need to save time. I'm curious. What's your estimate of the fix without the video?
how did you know to replace the water pump. I jeep will dump coolant as soon as I turn it off its coming from the area of where the water pump is but not sure exactly where. I am replacing the water pump, (with the help of this video). but not sure if that's what it is.
CURENTLYUNNAMED Without actually being there to see it, my guess it is the water pump. Water pumps usually have a hole drilled in them before the seal so it is a warning sign that your pump is about to fail and it leaks coolant from that area. Good luck and thanks for watching!
awesome video. one thing I didn't hear you say and I can't find it anywhere online, is there a torque spec for the fan bolts? or is it just good and tight?
Wait! How did you remove those four 13mm bolts holding the fan to the water pump off? They are buried, plus the pulley turns the opposite way when trying to unscrew them, making it impossible to remove those bolts without holding opposite pressure, which is extremely difficult. ** Video Marker 3:35 **
Mugiver Muscle Machines thanks. the fan itself is really wobbly when it spins and some of the fins are hitting something when its running. it sounds like tiny rocks hitting the fan every second im gonna get to it
