Looking to pick up a ZJ with a leaky water pump, I have a feeling that it is also the bypass hose that is also causing the leaking, thanks for showing through detail of what YOU do to replace the parts. Also, a factory Chrysler part that lasted over 270k without being replaced should be in a museum or in the Book of world records. Lol.
@@fiveninegarage idk for a retard like me who’s just getting into the scene, without many tools this replacement was a little hectic lol. Good learning experience though.
My Jeep started leaking coolant. After watching the video I’m now sure it must be the water pump. No wonder the heater don’t work in full blast in mine, but the AC blows super cold air! I changed my started after watching your videos! Great work!
I wish you would have done this a month or so ago. I had to replace the bypass hose on my ZJ. It's not a hard job, just lots of steps for a 2 min replacement. Great work as always!
Kyle White lol. I wish a video like this existed when I replaced the bypass hose & water pump on my 1st jeep because I didnt know what the hell I was doing and the only videos that would come up were for the XJ 4.0
Did my water pump, fan clutch, and popped in a new belt. I had some hiccups along the way. The loaner clutch wrench doesn't have the GM/Dodge variant. And I forgot which bolt belongs where. Thanks for making such an extremely helpful video. I got it done and saved myself some money while gaining knowledge.
Thanks bud. You taking a video of everything had to take you for ever. Which makes me appreciate your dedication to helping people learn. You definitely helped me. Thank you.
I like your level of attention to detail. I have agreed to do this same job for a friend and had subscribed to your channel a few days ago after being suggested some funny videos. You said "catalytic converter" and I said subscribe. Anyway, searching for a 95 grand Cherokee v8 water pump video resulted in this video, which I found extremely helpful.
Hell yeah man. I just got thru taking the old water pump off. Wish i had found your video sooner. Great camera work and explanations. Subscribed to save me some future head aches.
Great videos. Great explanation and love the fact you give out part numbers and take the time to show great camera angles. Thanks for taking the time and sharing. !!!
Thanks for the video man, helps me a lot again like the rest of your videos! My waterpump died today and a new one is ordered :) I will have to do it by hand, I don't have such a nice Milwaukee tool. Keep on jeepin and greetings from germany.
Just found your channel and am impressed. I've located a 95 ZJ, specifically a GCL with the 4.0L and am on the quest for knowledge so I can do some of these repairs, diy style. Thank YOU, for the great topics and on point presentations of each projects subject matter. I see you also have a sense of humor. WORD. Yessir. Subscribed. Liked, commented, and I'll be back cause', like you said, "there are no problems, only soutions"
thanks again... had a crack in my radiator so i decided to just put in a nice looking used one .... then i got trans fluid in that radiator and my water pump started leaking ... so i went and got a new radiator, water pump, hoses... i broke the shroud into multiple pieces trying to cut corners putting it back together, the new radiator is nice but cost me over $200, spent extra on the water pump so i could get the new bolts and that little tube thing that goes to a heater hose ($130+) it came with the bots somewhat fixed into the holes so i was like great i don't have to remember which holes get what bolts but when i went to put it on two of the bolts were switched (took me about 30 minutes to figure that out, after many swear words) then when i got it all together put water in to check everything and one of the ($30) hoses has a mark where it looks as if someone ran a razor on it. (its not all the way through but noticeable when the hose swells.)... as much as this shit cost you would think quality would be great, i am disappointed but everything seems to be okay at the moment. >>> my question is if water gets into the trans fluid it would turn pink milky like the radiator did, right?
This video saved my ass!!! Thank you very much barricade garage! Great video, amazing angles, and the fact you show every bolt being taken out, the sizes, and everything else extra that's needed! Thank you very much man! Appreciate the hell out of you for making this video! 👌
It works best to leave the top hose off while refilling the rad until coolant comes out then reconnect and continue filling with the coolant funnel. Sometimes these motors can be very difficult to get the cooling flowing after a complete drain of the system for some reason. It's like there's a huge hydrolock going on.
Another awesome video. I'm about's to change the water pump on my WJ. Assuming it will be a similar process. Thanks again for a great step by step vid 😃.
7:39 time mark, I believe that bolt is the one that goes through the pump and timing chain cover. Not sure, just off the top of my head. Is the place where I had the timing chain cover gasket failed on my '97 ZJ's 5.2. So check there as a possible source of leakage. So I did replace my timing chain and gears since I had to replace that gasket. Easiest way to break the dampener bolt loose it to use a breaker bar resting on the frame and kicking over the starter. Outside of Barricade's content, feel free to refer to the Jeep Forum(s) as needed also as they have the torque specifications listed. Once again, great coverage. :)
May have been pointed out already, but for the 5.2, that fan is shaped like a human - 2 legs, arms, and a head. If you line it up just so, you can slip it out of the bottom without removing the shroud. That said, removing the shroud ALSO gives you a much nicer working space for dealing with the pump, so...
One really important thing to watch I'm not sure if I missed it or not but you need to keep track of all of the bolts and where they came from the water pump bolts and the accessory bracket are all different lengths. A really neat trick is to use a piece of cardboard and draw what the water pump looks like and put holes where they came from and stick the bolts in the holes in the cardboard so you can put it back exactly how they came out.
I'm on my fourth jeep and in each I cut the fan shroud off leaving only the top part that covers the fan. Makes it so easy to only remove the two nuts and the top comes off.
Some models of that fan shroud actually have a removeable snap-in segment at the very bottom. Barely slide your head under, pop it out with a standard body plastic rivet removal tool (aka screwdriver,) and this removes about a 10" section. This then, allows you to easily pull the shroud out/in, without needing to also remove the fan. It makes any job around this MUCH easier. Note also, since this is an OEM possible option, you can also make your own with a pair of tin snips, and just remove the same segment from the bottom of the shroud's plastic housing.
This channel has helped me so much with my zj..thank you i appreciate it alot.especially with the step by step and the fact that you let us know what size tools we need.thanks again!
Looking at all of the RTV that's a factory core that has been rebuilt. Both of our 1996 5.2's are on their 3rd water pump with 115000 miles and 145000 miles on the other.
Nice nice video 3 days of looking how to do this and you get absolutely the best it's how to congratulations thank you very much I didn't see where the thermostat was changed do you have any put a job that job
Problem I ran into though, was that o-ring on the tube, slipping out of place when pushing the tube in. Suspect that is why so many people use silicone there as well.
The first water pump I replaced I did everything here.. The second time, I pretty much just did the pump and thats it, since the bypass hose was not that old. Then when I did the timing chain I went all out again lol. No rtv?! Nice. I hate that crap.
Oh ! And the 98 has an interesting change - the shroud has a removeable section in the bottom width. You can mod the 97 once out, with a simple pair of tin snips :)
Keep up the good work and great vids brother . Hopefully you don't keep having to work on her though i hope i aint gotta keep working on mine i just got a 96 grand cherokee limited it's nice but needs sine docering that's why i been watching you . Great job Godbless
I dig your videos bro! I'm considering purchasing a 98 5.2 L and your videos make me comfortable about doing repairs as well as giving me an idea of what to look for and how to access potential issues. Would you say that most water pumps on the ZJs last around 250k miles? I know it would depend on other maintenance factors and conditions but just in general? Keep making videos, they're definitely enjoyable and informative.
I'm just going to leave this here, I have a 95 5.2L, I am currently replacing my water pump because it has failed. Currently at 205k but I think it has had issues for about 20k. periodically it'll dump coolant everywhere. I was avoiding replacing it but now the pulley has seized so I guess I need to now. Along with the Serpentine belt...
Non water pump question but great job BTW 👍 I watch your videos the most and I replace the brakes on my 98 ZJ limited but the front left brake caliper was hard to compress and now 3 of my four disc brakes are sticking would would cause all three to do this? I was guessing a bad hose but the caliper is bad I think too but why the rear brakes IDK what's going on 😂 #JeepLife
Open the bleeder valve on the caliper, then try to compress the piston. If the piston wont compress with the bleeder valve open the its your brake caliper that is bad... But if your piston does compress and brake fluid starys shooting out the bleeder valve when your compressing it, then your calipers are good and you need a new brake hose... The caliper slide pins not being lubricated can cause this to happen
@@barricadegarage5361 yeah I had a bad caliper so I replaced the hose and caliper to save time and it works like it should. Thanks for replying to my question I appreciate it.
Love your videos! Ever had any issues with the worm-gear clamps on the bypass-hose loosening up and leaking ? edit: I guess you used T-bolt clamps, but I have the same question on those.
I am curious as to how long this took you to do. Prodemand pays 1.5 hours. It took me 3.5 without the experience of doing one before. You seemed like you knew what you were doing. Just wondering how long it took you. Great video too btw.
Turn it to the passenger side of the vehichle to loosen. Youll most likely need to put the wrench on the nut and hit it with a hammer towards the passenger side to shock it loose
Shoot, this old accountant thought he was strong enough to knock that puppy loose. I whacked it with my framing hammer (I fix my house but not my car, I guess) and it didn't budge.
Fwiw, I don't have the kit, but have a big wrench, which I used, and Autozone let me rent the one that goes into the little holes. However, neither of them are as long as the ones in your video. Maybe I needed more leverage. None of the parts stores carried it. Perhaps I should just order it on Amazon. It's another 80, but the repair shop wants 800 to fix this...I am a better carpenter than I am an accountant, but apparently, I am a better accountant than I am a car mechanic.
+Thomas Board that actually happened when I did the pump on my '96 ZJ and youll have to remove the timing cover to extract it. At that point you may as well replace the the timing chain, gear set and cover gasket but its not the end of the world
