How To Replace Water Pump 97-04 Ford F150 

√ *Watch the Video* √ *Buy The Part at 1A Auto* 1aau.to/m/Visit-1AAuto √ *Do it Yourself* √ *Save Money*

I have a great mechanic who is very honest and he has never done any work that is not absolutely necessary. That said, he has to make a living and labor in his shop runs over $100 an hour and he buys parts locally and marks them up to cover his cost of procuring the parts. As a result, I estimated that I would spend about $600 to do this job on my truck. I dreaded doing the job myself but this video showed me exactly what I needed to do. I bought the parts for less than $100 and did the job myself on my 1998 F150 in about 3 hours. This video made all the difference between struggling with the job and getting it done smoothly without any problems. I am retired and 75 years old and it really feels good that I can do something and make the equivalent of $500 on a Sunday afternoon.

I don't understand those 100+ thumbs down? Make a movie like this and show what you can do, donkey? Hey, brother , thanks for great work !

very nice video lots of uncessary steps but needed for beginners.

Thank you.you saved me $500.00.i do all my own work. But did not know how the pump came off my f150.have a nice day.

I would do star pattern on the pump if you want it even. it's not a big deal, just something different

Thanks guys your videos really helpe me, keep making more and what I like is the way y'all explain small details but helpful.

Great job. My brother had a crack on the shroud it would over heat the engine. Put a new shroud no more over heating.

Very helpful and the step by step details help alot thanks I'll be using this info soon to replace my water pump that went out today

Excelente... habia desarmado todo y no podia quitar la polea, gracias a su video cpmenze de nuevo y coloque la bomba sin problema ! Saludos

Thank you help alot got my f150 up and running thanks for the help

Mine is a 2000 and the ac compressor is on the opposite side so therefore the removal process is different.

That is the first time I've ever seen someone wiggle out the fan right before taking off the shroud lol Do you take your socks off before your shoes? Too funny... Other that that little bit of humor, it's a great video. Very helpful, thanks.

That's a jack handle? Because I always thought it was to hold the hood up x.x lol

Good videos

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to, at least, inspect belts & hoses if not replace them with the water pump. They have the same mileage and age as the water pump. Sure there is an increase in money and time, but also peace of mind for us high mileage guys. Thanks for the video. My 2000 F-150 4.2L may be more difficult due to AC hoses & tighter space.

I just had my waterpump replaced and is now overheating just driving 1-2 miles. The thermostat was replaced also about 2 months ago.If i understand correctly on this vide for this model car the coolant system does not need to be burped like on another video on this channel which says some vehicles needs to be burn and some dont?

Very insightful thank u very much, now off to work I go

Thanks for your videos friend.!!!!

step 1 - take apart half the engine. step 2 - good luck putting it back together

Thanks!

Motor oil on the oring for water pump??? Nice.... that'll lead to premature failure. Silicon based lubricant is best...

Loosen bolts before removing belt

Thank you!!!!!!very helpfull

Thanks for making this

Instead of the factory plastic retainer clips I switched to self tapping screw it holds 10× longer

I still think ford should have done a two piece fan shroud in these years

VERY GOOD .... THANKSS

Damn fine video sir, thank you!!!

Hey there just wondering if the fan is not put in the right way and broke the waterpump and bearing will that cause the truck not to move forward or backwards

Thanks for making this video. I am in the process of chamging the water pump now. Can a bad water pump cause a loud tapping sound? Any reply would be gret!

Wow , I'm Loving my 95 f150 4.9 more . Oh wait , the oil pan ; never mind.

Where do you buy the fan clutch tool?

Grat video

Cut the shroud in two pieces using zip ties or small lock nut and bolt, or.....best option go electric fan off a Lincoln Mark 8 fan , moves Hugh mount of air, but pigtail for it and buy a fan relay thermal switch kit, or thermal fan controller with relay , maybe over ride switch in the dash. Done, better power more mpg

I'm taking a 4.2 V6 out of a 97 f150 two-wheel drive do you have a video

I need the clutch holding tool and thin nut wrench, your site does not list these. Any suggestions?

what does it mean when my pulley or pump itself appears to be moving in and out like bobbing in and outward. I have a loud screech chip and a loud gravel in a barrel sound...

Thank you, your video helped me removed my water pump.

thanks for the help bro

Does this work on V6 model? 4.2 engine

So I replace my waterpump it cranks over but it won't start the coil is good but no spark

whats the little o ring for

can show how to torque the fan to pulley nut please

very good

You put the wrong coolant in this truck. It’s should always be green coolant in pre 2004. Never orange. That’s for gmc and Chevy

Can I replace the nose part when I was taking my fan off the threaded part broke off the clutch fan

Good show only thing I would've done is disconnect battery ...

tanks .....ostad.....do not have any other way to get out ..cover fan.... in first step........tanks

Very good job explaining how to do that. The only thing I would recommend is discontent the battery cable in case there might be an auto start device. If that fan comes on while your Working on it would be disastrous!

your old fan was a wreck ! What happened ? Looks like schrapnel took out the shroud. Good repair though.

Water is coming down from the front my oil pan, is it the water pump, ?

Thank you this video help me a lot thank u now my truck starts to move now lol

Wait, why do you keep saying my fan will be on and in the way? Dont you have to take the fan off?

Do i have to drain the oil to change the water pump, noob question thnx

Im like good job
