How to install a Water Pump: 1999 - 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3L V8 WP-9409 AW5104 

There's no need to remove the idler pulley. Would have been nice to mention about removing the fan, the most difficult part of the the job.

Thanks for the video. I was almost positive I could do it, but I wanted to double check a tutorial, to make sure I didn't get halfway through and forget something crucial. Yours was not too short, not too long and not too complicated.

It took me 3 hours, followed the directions exactly, works great, no leaks. Thanks for the video.

Great video. Short and to the point.

your video is exceptionally instructive, it got me the confidence i needed to accomplish the task at hand, God bless you, keep up the good work to help others, pass it on.

Thanks for the video. I was able to do it myself without any problem. Just one note about the fan clutch: I used the clamp-down method by using a c-clamp and I used a pipe wrench to loosen the fan and it came off every easily.

Excellent Video, Very concise , easy to understand and straight to the point. thank You.

Great Video, thanks.

Your videos are excellent, thank you!

Should of shown how you took the fan off that's the hardest part lol

Learned a lot. Thanks

Great video. Thank you

yea wassup with the part about fan? you left the hardest part out

This is a great video thank you. Have to ask.... whats up with all the haters and people who are obviously too smart to be watching a video for assistance in the comments! Lol wth. Nicely done.

great video!

I enjoyed the video ... Can those hose clamps be removed with pliers? I though Dexcool is not recommended by some mechanics but guess it goes a long way before it starts to jell up...

When you turn in the truck and heater do leave the coolant reservoir cap off?

The easiest way to remove the fan if you can’t get it off with a wrench and hammer is to remove the water pump with the fan and wedge something behind the pully once you have it out and remove the fan that way

Is there anything you have to do with timing on the water pump belt?

love your video and think it is very good for someone who is a little scared of doing it as I am not but think that there are some real donkeys replying to this and they are not to smart only smart axx so nice job

hello, after replacing the water pump and thermostat my temperature gauge goes pass the normal readind 210 only when its ideling after about 2 to 3 minute it goes back to normal, any ideas bled the air out of the system a few times over and over. 2007 silverado 1500 4.8

Thank you so much for shorts sweet and to-the-point and not explaining what hose clamps are what they're used for where they came from and how the weather is outside. And how your wife's uncle's cousin's brother is the reason why the pumps out that bastard..lol🙏🤘🤣

So I cannot just replace the pulley itself for my 05 gmc 5.3 v8? I have to replace the whole water pump as shown in this video?

where can I find a video on how to replace a oil pump in a 2005 Chevy Silverado

Good amigo

My fan clutch is always super loud especially when it's hot I changed the fan clutch twice could this be the problem?

How much distilled water and antifreeze should I add ?

You mentioned to replace it with 50/50 coolant AND distilled water. That's a mistake! Lol. But I'm sure no one caught that.

Wat tools would I need to use to remove the water pump

Great video. Makes the job look easy. What do you suggest to flush the system besides water?

So in order to bleed out the system, do we turn the heater on high? And if so, for how long?

Love how you say nothing bout the fan removal. That's a very crucial part.

What are the torque specs for the 6 retaining bolts on the water pump?

Is this the same with a 4.8 liter?

I have a 2005 chevy avalanche . The problem in having is that I have to put water in my truck every two to 3 days. I'm guessing it's my pump. Do you think that's the problem? If it is around how much would be for labor.

What's the name of the song that Way when I'll change mine I'll put it on

I Got a 2005 tahoe 5.3l It needs a water pump It had a thermostat housing type that you could interchange just the thermostat itself and keep your old housing " if you wanted too of course" I guess it's called a 2 piece design?? To replace that type of thermostat and housing would have been close to $50 bucks.. So I bought the other style It's the thermostat and housing made together. Im stuck in the snow at the time of making this comment. I'm hoping this will work and not leak when I put it on. Also, ive bought a new water pump. The two gaskets that came with the water pump are not paper... They are metal looking with rubber? I've seen some videos of people using these types of metal looking gaskets without putting black RTV silicon on them. But I've also heard that these will leak and to always use paper gaskets with rtv on pump and on thermostat housing like you did in the video... I bought a tourqe wrench.. Something I've never used.. I've ALWAYS...just tightened down bolts till I felt like they were good to go. Im reading that its 11 and then 22 ft.lbs on the 6 water pump bolts. 11 ft.lbs on the thermostat housing. And either 18 or 37 ft.lbs ...not sure which one...on the pulley bolts that mount to the water pump?

How do you get the fan off the pump?

May I ask which gasket sealer you use?

Great video... Dear Air tech I'm electrician engineer. Please I need your guidance

2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD. Stumped. Have replaced water pump twice with new water pumps. Both time it has/is leaking from where the top hose/pipe connects to the water pump. After the truck warms up, coolant starts to slowly pool from where the “shiny” part of the water pump goes into the actual pump. Have tripled checked if the coolant is coming from the hose. It is not. Seems to be the seal from where the “shiny” pipe connects to the water pump on top. Going to try one more….any ideas?

Hey I followed every step. Now my 2005 suburban overheats every 10 minutes. I changed the water pump due to a leak. What can I do?

what happened to the radiator fan???

1998 Chevrolet 1500 5.0 water pump install

What happened to removing the shroud and fan?

Hello, I have a silver 5.3 2000 and boil the water, I already rectified the cylinder heads and changed gaskets, radiator and water pump and it still does not fix what the problem may be

I have a small leak around my water pump. Is there a simple way to tell if it's the gasket or if I need to replace the whole pump? Also, seeing the convo about the coolant types a few comments down reminded me... I went to buy some more coolant (due to the slow leak) and Adanced Auto Parts didn't have any Dex Cool. They told me the universal 50/50 was fine. That my 2005 Avalanche used to require Dex Cool but now that universal stuff will do just fine. Is the universal 50/50 coolant fine for my Avalanche? If not, could it be contributing to the leak/cooling problems I've been having?

would have been nice if you had mentioned the part about the fans at the start of the video. Now I have to reinstall the old pump to knock the fan collar off the pump.

No mention of the fan.... Hilarious

Friend. I have a problem with my silverado 2005, V6. in cool weather I have hot air in my passenger side and cool air on my driver side. do you know what is the problem? can you help me on this.

How much for this job. Parts and labor.. thanks

Should’ve left a tool list too

So did this model not come with a fan?

Weres the fan??????

No video of removing the fan.

this ingine of 5.3 is faster or it sucjs

Why didn’t you show how to remove the fan?

Yea that's the truth, whats up with the fan😱

2005 gmc half ton pickup, sierra...engine size unsure). I am getting a drip under my water pump, big when pressurized, small and consent when I open the reservoir cap, (relieving any pressure). (engine off), although it is still a constant leak. It seems to level off on the temp when driving, although, i can only assume it is still dripping the small drip. (If I fill the reservoir) It seems to leak from all over,in front and behind the pump location), when engine is hot and at a stop light, or just parked Question: Could this be a bad water pump?, hoses are just fine throughout. Can a water pump go bad and still leak, while still maintaining mechanical efficiency... Not sure where to turn, it seems to be leaking from all over, in front and behind the pump location on the engine. do you know of any other common leak points in this motor, besides hose connections and/ or water pump??? Thanks for any advise.

no mention of how to remove clutch fan and where is the shroud in the video. need 1 and 7/16 wrench to remove fan.

You didn't show how the fan was removed.

I came to see how to remove the fan and he skipped it! 😂

Good video until you didnt film the part about the fan.

Came here to see how the fan comes off

To all the know-it-alls on RU-vid trying to find out how to do this and whining about the fan clutch that model doesn't have one like mine it's electric boogie boogie boogie woogie🤣🤪 2005 Yukon XL

I will never put water in my engine again. It creates rust and wears out parts. Creating the job you just watched.

Is not fan on this truck???????

On my 5.3 it was major leaking. I removed the old pump it looked very new and it spun nicely. It had 2 aluminum gaskets i believe one blew out. The Alumaseal did not seal it and Normally i have 99% good results..

Came her for the fan removal. But ok

This video makes anyone think they can just get this done in a hour or so. NOT TRUE. I got it done but it isn't as easy as this video makes it out to be!

Yeah he just skipped over all the hard parts that's why it's only 4 minutes long 😆

I liked the video, but lose that terrible music.

Showed nothing , did not say sizes of bolts or any information at all, basically said take the old one off , put new one on.

Just needed the tool sizes. Thanks for nothing.

Do you want a cookie

No mention of water pump lubricant?? I'm pretty sure that's important!!

OEM gasket Does not require sealant!

You skipped the fan removal kind of a pointless how to bid skipping the hardest step.

No fan on that chev I guess lol

😂

Skipped the fan removal, bung-hole

Completely doesn’t say anything about the fan lol

No real info

Oh shit I forgot to add sealer to the engine all I add was into the pump . Oh crap

worthless guide ...

I wanted to watch but was forced to stop by that stupid shit background music. This is a virus that has taken over youtube. So sad. Maybe there will be another online with out.
