- Welcome back.
Today we are going to change the water pump on the Jeep Liberty. This video will apply to any Liberty or Grand Cherokee or any Dodge/Jeep product with the 3.7 or 4.7 liter engine.
Very simple and easy to understand teaching. I would recommend your videos to anyone.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I know I'm a little late to this one but I couldn't agree more Super informative little tips and tricks and very direct I feel like this guy might take money out my pocket by teaching other people how to do my job😁 great videos highly recommend
Glad it helped you out. I’m just like everyone else. Trying to save some money by doing it myself. If it helps anyone else, that’s even better.
Mannnn I love CZcams and content like this. I'm pretty handy but no mechanic and with the help of this video I did this in an hour. I used a metric socket set and a short piece of metal tubing to get some leverage on the bolts. Thats it.
2007 Liberty. Mine did not have a 16mm socket down low to drain the coolant. Instead I had a plastic winged bolt (I mean you can use your fingers) to drain.
Also maybe this will help someone. Instead of marking my bolts, I just laid the new pump on the ground, front facing up, and as I took the screws out of the old one I placed them in the same spot on the new one. Obviously I oriented the old and new pumps to make sure the spots were the right spots. I also bought a new radiator cap for about $6.
I've done all kinds of stuff with CZcams.. Thanks for making me an all around handier (?) guy!
Great tips!
U can use a price of cardboard to keep your bolts in order too bro. Just stab Xs in a circle and Mark the cardboard up area
Good tips
Seven years later and still the best video for water pump replacement on a Liberty. Thank you.
Thanks!
I dont know how this video got even 1 bad review. This was very helpful. Thank you very much!!! you have a new fan!
Some people just hate everything. Lol
Thanks for watching!
Because people are fucking just hateful as hell for no dam reason!
There are always some jealousy and negative minded people out there who will by any means look for a molecule of dirt in a mountain of snow. They are angry that someone showed us how to do it ourselves faster and better.
If constructive criticism can be heard and not ignored, even good things can be improved. For instance, using a 6mm wrench on water pump mounting bolts that have 13mm heads is not good information.
A big Thank You. Your video gave me the confidence to do this job myself. I am sure I saved $150 or so. A new water pump was $40, Antifreeze was $14 and the brake cleaner was $2. Great deals at Advanced Auto with $20 off everything. Under $60 and I am happy.

11:30 That red stuff on the bleeder screw isn't red loctite, it's some sort of rubbery RTV type compound that helps it get a good seal, and it just so happens to be red in color.
They used the same stuff on the coolant temperature sensor.
I guess your bleeder screw is just corroded in place.
Good to know. Thanks!
Thanks a million. This helped confirm my suspicions of a coolant leak at the pump as well as validate my own ability to change the pump. Much appreciated!
Awesome. Glad it helped you out.
Thanks for watching and please!
The ONLY guys who tells us where the LONG bolts go! Thank you!
Hell yeah.

Ooiiy
Watch your video, it made it a breeze, not to mechanical, but will try to do some of the easier things like changing the water pump. Took the shroud off, then unhooked some hoses, drained the fluid, and then took off and replaced the water pump. The pully was wobblily, it was clanking. Probably saved 400 dollars, down here in South Florida, they wanted around 500 dollars or more.
Thanks Again.
Glad it helped you out.
$925 in New York...
Thanks, Great video. Looks like tomorrow am I am doing this. Amazon overnight ($42) gets me a new pump tomorrow by 11am. wow. I have a 2011, so must remove fill tank first, it is in the way. Thanks for the torque specs. saves time.
No problem. You can do it!
Thank you very much, your steps where very clear both verbally and video, your tip for labeling the bolts with a sharpy marker was helpful (something I would not have thought of), your video allowed me to “pretend” to be the cool boyfriend who could fix his girls car (the first time).
That’s awesome. Whatever it takes to make an impression!

Labeling the water pump bolts. GREAT ADVICE.
Thanks!
Thanks. Great instructional video! The step by step process was spot on. Just replaced my water pump this morning after viewing this video.
Awesome. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Great video. I just replaced the water pump on my 2006 Jeep Liberty using your lesson here. Took me about two hours but I took a short break while fluid was draining.
That’s awesome. Glad it helped you out
Thank you for the video. I am no vechile mechanic expert and this video definitely helped me out. Learned how to fix my Jeep issue.
That’s awesome. Glad you were able to fix it!
Thank you. Exactly as you said. That was the easiest water pump I've ever done.
Piece of cake!
Thank you so much. You're tutorial is clean and easy to understand and you give great tips! Best car maintenance tutorial by far! I'm not mechanically inclined. I was told that you should replace the fan clutch at the same time. Where is the fan clutch?
If you had one of the older Liberty's where the fan is physically attached to the water pump this is where the fan clutch would live. But more than likely you have the electric fans which are mounted directly to the radiator. So you wouldn;t need to worry about it.

Thanks for replying. I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty 3.7L It's a basic model. I was looking at autozone.com and it recommends changing the fan clutch when changing the water pump. You make it look simple and I appreciate your help :)
i just replaced mine with the help of this video, seriously thank you i really appreciate this video
Awesome. Glad it helped
This video was very helpful. I think I did the whole procedure in under an hour. Not bad for me.
Awesome. Glad it helped you out
Really good tips.now let me go and play being a mechanic lol.
You got this. Piece of cake.
Had the same problem with the bleeder screw with red lock tight. She was not budging.Went to the dealer for a replacement so if I stripped it while I pulled the old one out I would still be good.Dealer doesn't make that part, not even a size... Lol classic!I will try to bleed the air out like you did, great video it is idiot proof. Thanks
Just had to change the water pump again this past week. The radiator blew and then the gasket on the water pump started leaking.
I've never had an issue with the system not being able to bleed itself. I've just filled the expansion and then drove it for about 5 miles and then just topped off.
Glad it helped you out and thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. Well done, made the job easy to prepare for. I appreciate the work you put into helping us all out.

Dude thank you so much for making this video. Saved me so much money on these tough times. Was doing the same thing pouring coolant out of the pump. Thanks again.
You’re Welcome. Glad it helped you out
I have viewed several videos on changing a water pump on the Liberty. Yours was very helpful...especially with some of the details that others leave out such as numbering the bolts to keep track, etc. This is my first time doing this on any car, and your video has given me the courage to "get it done." Thanks.

As for me, if the belt routing decal isn’t on my Liberty, I’m just going to look back at your video and your decal!😂
Perfect!
Great video this helped me with my liberty thank you so much
You're very welcome!
Very clear demonstration and easy instructions. This was very helpful and time saving. Thank you very much.
Thanks. Glad it helped you out.
Very helpful, thank you. I just finished installing the new water pump.

Another thing I suggest is just because I hate these gasket designs I always put a small line of rtv around the pump!
I did the same thing after I replaced it for the second time due to failed radiator.
Thanks for the straight forward and to the point video
No problem and thanks for watching.
Good video, gonna be doing this on a friend's Liberty shortly.
Thanks. It’s pretty simple. Good luck!
Excellent well done without wasting time.
Thanks!
what the comment below said thanks a lot this will hopefully help me assist my elderly mother on a fixed income in saving at leat 100 dollars if not more! Thanks sir for your time!! God bless you
That’s awesome. Glad it helped you out. It’s relatively easy to do.
Great informative video, easy step by step instructions for the DIYer, straight to the point. I like to browse around online along with using a Chiltons Maintenance guide before I do maintenance. Kudos to you!

thank you for posting this helpful video, will have to replace the water pump on a friends Liberty.

I agree this is a very good video for DIYers. Is there a torque spec. for the idler pulley or just common sense?
Common sense
This video was beyond helpful. Thank you.
Thanks. Glad it helped you out!
This helped tremendously thank you
No problem. Another thing I do to manage the water that accumulates on the cover is to pump it off with a small transfer pump.

Got it replaced! Thank you 🙌
Excellent!
I have a 145000 miles....must be the right problem!!! Thanks...Yes its leaking out the seal.
Yes it's a "normal" failure. Just do yourself a favor and toss the supplied gasket and buy a FELPRO version while you're in the store.

Thank you for being so specific!!

Thank You for this video. It was a lot of help.
No problem
Thank u so much for this video it helped me
No problem. Glad it helped!
Thank you sir for your video. Very well done
Glad you liked it
Thank you very very much for this video Sir,🙏
You got it.
My 2003 has a clutch fan because it has the towing package so I'll have to remove that alone with the shroud.
Correct
Nice video! I think my water pump is leaking. Would it be bad to drive with for another few days until I can fix it?
Should be ok. Just keep a eye on the coolant level.
If the temperature gauge is. Staying in the middle regardless. Is that the thermostat that could be ruined as well?
It’s in the middle even at startup?
I need information on a 2008 Jeep Liberty
It's essentially the same process. Only difference is the location of the expansion tank across the core support. Just remove that and follow the rest of the steps.

Great video!! Very helpful!!
Awesome. Glad you liked it
I'm not seeing in your video whether you ran the engine with the heat on for awhile and the radiator cap off, to purge the air at first? Or maybe thats not necessary
Also I've seen videos where they first fill the radiator with distilled water and radiator super flush cleaner for about 10 minutes, drain that out, and then fill it again. Is this what you meant by you flushed earlier?
The video wasn't a Jeep Liberty and I'm not sure if that will cause problems lol
I think I'm going to skip the flush cleaner and just drain and fill. Somehow I see it causing problems.
In a car with 90K miles the solvents could end up causing leaks maybe. Seems likely
Heat on and idle speed about 2000. Once you feel some heat come from the vents install the cap and take it for a 10 minute drive.
Let it cool down and then top of the overflow to the min cool line and you’re done
Thank. U. Video was helpful
You’re Welcome

Great video, will start this tomorrow evening when the pump gets in. Do I need to prime the rubber gasket with coolant that goes into the metal channels inside the pump? Kind of like pre-lubricating the oil filter I would assume, no?
Jarred Stumberg
No you won’t. Just do yourself a favor and throw away the gasket that’s included in the box and get a Felpro one instead.
Is a $10 Felpro gasket really that much better than an ACDelco one? I was under the impression the water pump (and included components) I got was slightly better than OEM
Ok. If you’re getting a AC Delco pump you’ll be alright.
I have liquid coming out of the hole on top of my water pump. What is the issue here?
Bearing failure. Replace the pump.
Will all this relate to a 2011? Hope soo doing one for a friend tomorrow...
Other than the location of the expansion tank and washer fluid location. It's essentially the same process.
On my 3.7L Jeep Liberty, the hardest part of the job is removing the fan clutch from the front of the water pump shaft. This vehicle is not so equipped.
Your Liberty must be an earlier year. This was a 2005. Not sure when they made the electric fan setup standard.
It has both the electric fan and the clutch fan. My Liberty is a 2008
Ok. I wonder if that was part of the tow package. Do you have a tranny cooler too?
Probably Tow equipment. It has a Class 2 receiver hitch and a TOW switch next to the automatic transmission shifter. Not sure about the tranny cooler. There is an AC condenser in front of the radiator; I have not noticed a auxiliary trans cooler.
So steve, how did you remove the fan because I'm facing the same problem
Why is there more room between your belt to fan, I have no room to fit?
I have electric fans. More than likely you have a mechanical
Do you turn it on while the funnel is on the coolant box?
Yes.
Verry helpfull, thank you.
You’re Welcome. Thanks for watching!
So a new pulley comes installed on the new pump?
Yes it does.
How much do you clean the mount area after the old water pump comes off? Mines a little worse for wear even though the gasket is off. I sanded all around with 1500 grit but its still got discoloration are you supposed to have silver in all areas? I don't want to keep going and create gouges. Anybody???
Don’t worry about the discoloration. It’s more than likely stained. As long as it’s clean and smooth. You’re good for reassembly
@@StreetersGarage do you use threadlock or any sealant with the bolts?
@c.rutherford I didn’t.
@@StreetersGarage thanks!
Do you have to bleed the thermostat after you put it in
I didn’t. I just filled it with coolant and drove it for 15 min and then topped it off once it cooled down.
So I’ll need 3 more gallons to refill it?
Yes. Approximately
Great video I work on car and this is a great one
Thanks! Glad it helped you out. !
My jeep has a clutch fan is that a birch to take off?
Little bit different but not that bad.
To bad my 2002 liberty rad fan cover is so close to the belt that I don't have room to work and I can't get the cover off
Yah, the 02's are a different design. first year of the production.
Thanks
You’re Welcome!
Thank you..thank you...thank you!!!!!!!
You’re Welcome!!!!
Thank you..

Is that idler bolt you remove regular or reverse threaded? The idler blocking the water pump bolts.

Normal bolt. Lefty Loosey. Righty tighty

How many labor hours does the average water pump R&R on a 3.7L take?
No issues. 30 minutes
could your water pump cause your liberty to not start up? my liberty makes a very quick trying to turn over noise. like something is stopping it from turning as soon as you turn the key. it started acting like is was gonna stall out on me last night. I got it home and the next day. won't start. there is some wetness under the water pump and there is nothing left in the coolant reservoir. any ideas? please help.
+Bigg Poppa
Yes. I've had a seized alternator on another vehicle prevent it from turning over. The AC Compressors are known for going bad as well.
Take the serpentine belt off and try starting it. If it does. Stop it and then start turning the pulleys by hand too see which one is bad.
that's what's up! Thanks gonna get on that right after work tomorrow. I'll let you know how it went. appreciate your quick response.
Bigg Poppa
Good Luck!
All pullies turn except the big one directly under the water pump
+Bigg Poppa.
Does it start?
How long does this job take to do
Start to finish. About an hour.
this is the easy one ,the 3.7 with heavy duty cooling uses two fans and a much bigger fan shroud which have to be removed as a unit which is a real hassle to get out
I've heard that as well.
does the fan and fan guard need to come off to
Sheila hannaman
Not for this setup.
A Jeep dealership will charge $900.00 to install the water pump and replace the serpentine belt.
Exactly!
That's called a weep hole, the seal in the water pump is gone.
Correct
Too bad you didn’t show how to remove the fan. 😢
Mine had electric fans.
perfect steps. 30 minutes
Thanks!
It's a pretty straight forward job.
Changed the water pump and thermostat and still gets hot
Possible clogged radiator or you have a blockage somewhere
Bad tensioner causing the belt to slip on the water pump. Could be a bunch of things.
Also check to make sure the cap on the expansion tank is good. If it’s leaking and not allowing pressure to come up. That could contribute as well.
Thank you, I bled the coolant system and it worked
Excellent. Glad you were able to get it squared away!
What is the hole on the top of water pump?
That's a weep hole. It's there to indicate if there's a bearing/seal failure. Coolant will come out of the hole in the event of a bad seal.

No start still
+Bigg Poppa
So it won't crank at all?
it makes a noise like it wants to start but something is stopping it from trying. makes the beginning noise of trying to turn over but stops there
+Bigg Poppa
I would take a breaker bar and put in on the crank pulley and see if you can rotate the engine over at all levels. But from the sounds of it, you may have some valve train issues. Either way it's not good.

huh?
Taking the fan off is a very important part that gets totally skipped. THAT IS WHY BAD REVIEWS!
Well this model didn’t have it. It was a 2005. Sorry that I don’t have your specific model.
Can’t help it that I had electric fans. Eat a snickers dude.
If you can't handle comments, you probably shouldn't make videos. You seem to thin skinned for public criticism. Maybe you should stick to home movies dude!
To the contrary, I take criticism very well. But when you fire the first shot which was a ignorant comment to begin with. Don’t get offended when I defend myself and explain why.
He skipped it because it wasn’t relevant to his setup. He also didn’t show any signs of being thin skinned, he stated a fact. Maybe you should go back to watching pantyhose pervert videos?(you’re liked videos are public lmao)
