I ended up doing this job without having to take out the main fan or the power steering pump. That could certainly help you get more space to work in, but just taking out the electric fan and loosening the 3 bolts on the power steering and wiggling it around was enough for me to take out the water pump. I also found it easier to remove the lower hose from under the vehicle. Just wear eye protection and watch out for coolant splashing on you. This guide did help me, so I appreciate it, but if you’re okay working in a cramped space, you can skip a couple steps.
Seasoned mechanic, this is therapy for me. Appreciate the measured approach. Owe you a beer!
I'm getting ready to replace the water pump and thermostat on my '98 XJ. I like the way you setup the camera to show each step of the process. Not too many people do that and it makes it a lot easier for those of us that are watching. Thank you!
Great vid, I just did my 2000 XJ. I did not have to remove the power steering pump or loosen the lower bracket bolt. I just loosened the pump bolts so it was moving slightly. Pump slid right out and slid right back in. I did have the thermostat housing off though!!!! Pretty simple job, thanks for the video!!
Power steering doesn't have to come off, just those two bolts. You can get it in and out with it in place
🤷🏻♂️
I’m trying that now and I can’t seem to get it off. The only way I see is removing the power steering pump
Same. Mine was able to just slide out without removing power steering
I think it might have come off without too much hassle but figured I’d just take it off to make it that much easier to get the pump out and in and do some cleaning up while I was there
Thanks for posting this
I did my waterpump and thermostat last night because of a leak
Later saw that the leak was actually the damn rad cap
345,000kms on the jeep , needed the refresh anyway , and the heat works 10x better
Cheers
🤷♂️😁
Really helpful here. Just got done removing everything. Water pump and thermostat in the morning. Thanks again!
thanks for the guide. it helped me out. i skipped the mechanical fan and airbox removal and had minimal problems as a result. i used the same milwaukee ratchet, so i didn't have to fight the fan for swinging space. a side note, tighten the water pump pulley screws (x4) as much as you can, then when the serpentine belt is installed, you can finish tightening them. don't forget.
Nice informative and easy to follow. Liked the way ya gave additional info, ft. pounds, etc. Thank for your time and info sharing!
Appreciate you, used this as guidance to get the pump off my 99 XJ, has gone smoothly so far! Thanks!
Pinch the radiator hose a bit to raise the coolant level in the funnel then plug it. No spill when removing the funnel.
I greatly appreciate this video for the part numbers in the description, life saver lol
This is a great video. Wow he makes that gasket removal look easy. For us mortals there is a gasket remover that may help. As for dremel - no- just the Ole razor blade.
Thank you so much, very helpful informative. Saved me a lot of time research and money
You are doing a great job of messing up that radiator
Thanks for a great refresher course. The only problem i had was installing that damn spring clip that holds the lower hose to the pump. I ended up using a screw type hose clamp.
Appreciate your step by step tutorial. I like how you told us wich millimeter size the bolts were. Very helpful to me and my friend. Thank you! ❤
Warning if you have 1988. .This procedure will not work, as the power steering pump and adjuster are totally different, and must be removed differently.....Thanks for posting and taking the time to do this very good. The adjust is is opposite and on the bottom of the pump.
Perfect quick and straight to the point
Great video man. Second time I had to reference it. You live dangerously without a mechanical fan shroud!
Thank you great job with the video getting ready to do my jeep water pump and this should be a big help
I'll be checking your other videos as well 👍👍👍
Thank you for your very clear step by step you made this a breeze
Going to attempt this today
Doing this tomorrow on my ‘01. Same deal, I thought my bottom radiator hose was leaking and after replacing it the steady stream started, plus squeeling…lol, thanks for the video. It will make my first time replacing this easier.
I have an 01 Cherokee, and I replaced my bottom radiator hose and ran into the same situation as you. I'm replacing my water pump now.
🤙
👊
Enjoy watching other precessional folks go through it while I'm mentally preparing myself doesn't matter how often I've done a task 😂❤️🔧🐒
Ps the heater pipe part number is doorman MTM 56398 inlet tube. It's about 15 bux at orielly
An excellent video but the torque actually should be much more than the mentioned 30 inch pounds. Alldata has it as 31 Nm which is 270 in lbs or 22.5 ft lb.
Think he meant 30 foot lbs
I have the factory manual. Water pump torque spec is 17 ft lbs
EXACTLY, HE NEEDS TO DELETE THE VIDEO BECAUSE HE RUINED MY DAY WITH HIS IMAGINARY TORQUE SPECS
Thank you for the video. It was explained well, clearly filmed and it helped out a lot. I followed the same process for my 2001 jeep Cherokee and it went smoothly. The fan was the hardest to take off for me. lol.
Thanks for sharing Justin!
Thank you bro 🙏🏻
Simple lmfao. Too funny. I'm lost AF but learning. Thank you!
I have a ACDelco water pump and have driven about 60K miles on it, 5 years and still looks like new and has no play. I'm replacing my engine and I'm going to put a new one just for the hell of it, but the ACDelco brand does hold up well, just thought I throw that out their!
Thanks for that info on the delco water pump! I was wondering. Don't ever use a gmb! The inlet is not machined and hoses just won't seal without using rtv.
what about that 15pound oil pressure mine is the same way and knocking
Appreciate it
Thanks god bless
thanks for this. mightve been easier to fill the radiator if the plug wasn't in your way 😅
I use a dollar store snow sled to catxh 99% of the coolant lol
How did you know how tight to make the belt when you put it back on?
everywhere online says 1/2 inch of deflection or 90 degree twist: at longest belt length. half inch of deflection seems more reliable if you're swole. just use measured strength equal to how much you used on the hardest bolt to unfasten. 90 degree twist is effortless regardless of tension for me, i figure it's the same for any moderately strong adult man.
I have a 2001 4.0 Grand Cherokee that will overheat when i drive it. It idles around 210 and won’t overheat but once i take it for a drive for around 20 minutes it will spike suddenly and have to turn the car off. It will spew out the radiator cap and the coolant reservoir will start bubbling. The head is brand new on it with no gasket leaks. I’ve replaced the thermostat, radiator, and heater core so far. Going to replace the water pump today but if it isn’t that what else would you think is wrong with the car? It runs perfectly fine other than the overheating issue.
Still have the mechanical fan?
That Mother goose was easy!
While it's always a good idea to follow the factory specs when I've replaced my XJ's water pump, which I've had to do a few times over the last 500+k miles, I've always tightened the bolts to good and snug. That's always worked well for me.
500k! Wow! I have a 2001 XJ with 161,000, looks like I’m just getting her broken in!
Hi great video, are the water pump bolts torqued to 30 foot-pounds?
No. That's why he needs to delete this video
Bet you a dollar the window is the wire harness. What a pain.
I still think about that old z71 Tahoe you were selling a few years back. I was already packed up and ready to drive up there to pick it up.
you know. the guy i sold it to is selling it.. it needs a transmission i think, let me know if you want the Info.
@@Donnythelatemodeltech That’s funny. I have a spare 4L60 that I swapped 4-5 plan gears on. What’s he asking for it?
Not sure, direct message me on Instagram, I give his number if you want to text him.
genius
Next time place a clean new rag inside hole before scrapping old gasket material off. It's not much but it does get into your a system
Oh no.
Notice you put gasket on dry no sealer. no leak have to try that.
My power steering bracket was attached to the water pump and to the block
I had to remove my power steering brackets which were connected to the water pump and move to the side to get the water pump completely disconnected and taken out
Major hassle.
Did you put any thread sealer on the main water pump bolts? Just curious
Nope
May I want to communicate with you please, I need some of parts of Jeep cherokee 1998 diesel engine
Perfect video.
He did not use cilicone in the gasket?????
Generally replace stuff on a jeep when its not so clean under the hood u must be in the South or west..✌
Any idea the part number on the pump?
amzn.to/3bP9pa7
Is there any way you can put down the water pipe info for Amazon id really appreciate it, should i also change thermostat on it aswell
Go get a kids plastic pool from the store for the next time. They fit perfect between the wheels and catch every drop of coolant.
Great idea
My god you disassembled the whole front of the motor…. Gotta be an easier way
after replacing mine .................................................... There isnt. i hated it ...lol
The only "easier way" is to get rid of the clutch fan as I do with all my vehicles that I'm keeping. Then it's easier next time.
Can u fix my jeep for me😭😭
Mutha goose! 10:50
Electric fan has four bolt no clamps at the bottom.
Lol as he says its running good all i can see is that oil pressure gauge
Runs great
@@Donnythelatemodeltech mine does the same once its warm lol. Just teasing. I have the same jeep and wish it was half as clean as that one. 250k miles of minnesota salt has taken its toll. Thanks for your video though. Straight forward and informative.
Idk why u removed the mechanical fan u can do it just bye taking the electric fan out
Lol, ok guy
@@Donnythelatemodeltech literally just did mine lol
@@applecapitalricer1244 Makes it easier and only takes a couple seconds.
Every one of you guys skip taking off the radiator shroud.
You really dont have to take all that stuff off to replace the water pump . I have replaced mine twice and did not remove half of that stuff all you really need to take off is the serpentine belt. this is not a honda
Am I the only one who noticed the oil pressure... 😳
It needs a new sender. my 99 goes on off, on off, on off.
I probably would have replaced that pipe....
