Great vid, straight to business and no talking. Replaced pump and thermostat, but now ranger has hard idle and smoking.
that might be a blown head gasket
Great video. Strait to the point, no BS Thank you !
Appreciate it!
Great video man!
Appreciate it!
Very helpful, thank you
Thanks for the feedback
How to take of power steering and ac bracket
I placed the smaller o-ring into the water pump as shown as opposed to on the end of the down spout however it continues to leak. Maybe ill double up the o-rings and use the old one in addition to the new and place one inside and one on the downspout. Good video though, it helped me out.
Ever get the leak to stop? Only a big enough gap for a steady pin drop I bet
Did that solve your leak? I’m leaking from the same downspout. Old downspout had a tiny hole so I bought a new downspout, put it in with a new o ring but it leaks as if it didn’t seal. Curious if two o rings helped you out or not. I know mine should be sealed because it’s screwed all back into place.
I wonder if he found out I've got to do mine tomorrow should I put it in the downspout. I'm only replacing because my timing belt broke I didn't have a leak. Well not yet 😬
I need the update on the double o ring too please, I gotta replace mine asap
I did one and had a leak but I had the hoses too push in so loosen them up and pulled down the hose and it stopped leaking
I noticed when removing the water pump bolts, that the bolts go through the engine coolant ways. Did you put any gasket sealer around the bolts when you reinstalled the water pump?
Good idea PrestoConner. I don't think it would hurt to put a little sealant on the threads. It was not required for my vehicle.
Mine had rtv im doing the timing belt that broke and the water pump because it's there ans the kit wasn't too expensive
I have replaced my pump, and when I was done the oring for downpipe was leaking. Is there a way to properly install the oring without removing the pump? I have tried a couple of times but keep failing. Part of it, I think, is that the oring they supply is too small in diameter. It is not as nearly thicknas the one you show any hint or tricks would be great. And by the way you made a great how to video.
Did you solve the leak with 2 o rings ?
@jesushinojosa8192 ya, I did. I used two o rings and used gasket sealer to glue them on the pipe and let that dry before I installed them. It worked perfectly. Thank you
@@johnjacobson8484 thanks for the reply! Will do that ! really appreciate it
Great video man ! Using it to replace my water pump this weekend. Curious, was it necessary to replace the thermostat & housing at the same time too ??
There was something wrong with my thermostat housing. That’s why I replaced mine. I would recommend doing both while you’re in there.
@@CarolinaMedia okay thank you ! Yea might as well
how many miles do you have to change your water pump?
You should hear some noises or see some leaking from the water pump when it needs to be replaced. If you’ve gone more than 100k- 130k miles on the original, have it checked along with the timing belt.
@@CarolinaMedia Thanks for the info. I have almost 137K miles on my current water pump (not original). I'll probably wait another 20K miles and change it along with the timing belt.
BTW, how many miles do you have with your Ranger? What size are those tires?
@@path2049
170k miles. Tires are 225/70r14.
My timing belt just broke at 178k kilometers. I'm doing this job tomorrow, is it best to put the small o ring in the water pump hole and not on the hose? Also is there any places you recommend for rtv
@@Sean-John. I had better luck putting the o-ring all the way into the WATERPUMP. I didn’t use any rtv with this one.
