DONT USE CHINESE MADE HOSE CLAMPS!!! They’re crap. I bought 4 when I only needed one. All 4 broke. Had to go to a neighbor who is a mechanic and he gave me an American made clamp. I stopped to help a truck driver, broken down on the side of a highway. His fuel hose clamp broke. Yep, made in china. I had spare clamps and was able to get him going.
I have a 1970 F250 with a 360fe changing the water pump just went.
Starting to repair my 390 on my 1970 F250 - great videos!
Get new bolts as you remove them on your car, those original bolts are like bitches they are not loyal, my bottom water pump broke inside the block, welding, screw exactor kit couldn't get it out, had to drill it out, it's in bolted down solid now, i prayed/praying to Jesus, Odin, Zeus, Buddha and Mohamed that my water pump never goes bad , lol 😂
who do you find that has a good selection of auto grade bolts
Thanks for the show. I might pull my heater hose nipple before pulling the pump though.
Bro, I love what you are doing and thank you for the info.. but.. If that bracket fails, a couple zip ties are definitely not going to hold anything longer than 0.01 seconds. Working on these fords does strange things to our brains, boys.
sketchy would have been not cleaning the threads. crap in threads lead to thread and seal failure. always wire wheel, and paint where appropriate, any old crap you reinstall
Loving the use of a tripod. And a couple inches of hose is never enough
Thanks a Lot. Looks like i have the same issue on my 63 mercury.
Greetings from black Forest Germany
what do i do if my new pump and old pulley now rub on the crank pulley?
Was i supposed to prop up the waterpulley when installing by inserting soemthing between the pulleys to take up any slack in mounting holes so it didnt sag into crank pulley?
to fix do i just loosen it do this now OR was new pump made poorly?
Also how tight is too tight for the belts?
i just got thios truck week ago and immediately replaced the alt belt but maybe i over tightented them cuz a week later my water
pump bearing goes?
Sounds like an issue with the new water pump. Make shure u dont have ur water pump pulley on backwards.,. Let me know. Also the belt should be pretty tight.
Hey what radiator do you have in that truck btw, Ive got a 69 w/c6 and need another one
Unshure. It looks like a factory style rad that came in it. Never changed it yet
You Canadians talk funny. Hehe
Excellent! My bypass hose rotted out. This was helpful.
I've got a Question what kind of size fan do you use I've been looking for a the spacer? OR maybe help me with the product number.
Check ebay for a factory style one. I just used what the car came with
Why teflon tape and washer on the last bolt?
Teflon tape because it goes into the coolant. Without teflon gape or thread sealer. You risk coolant pushing out through the bolt threads
Where did you get your new thermostat housing?
I got the part number off rockauto. I believe a company called 4 seasons makes it. I called my local autoparts store with the part number and they had it in stock
Wrench life 604 Oh sweet thank you.
"At the same damn time" I caught the reference lol
