    New Engine Water Pump from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ib/1AEW...
    The water pump keeps coolant flowing through your engine. Common failures of the water pump will leave the coolant leaking, or stagnant. Both will lead to overheating if left untreated. Install a new engineered to fit water pump from TRQ for total peace of mind. This video shows you how to install a TRQ water pump in your 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota.

    This was the best and most helpful repair video I have ever watched. Im in the middle of doing mine on my truck that LIVE in and I need it for work everyday. This video was very clear, concise, explained step by step, told us what tools we need, and was very well narrated. Thank you so very much.

    My old Dakota's water pump just gave out today, started leaking profusely and sucking in air. ECT hit 246°f and was quite literally boiling, but somehow not quite at the Hot side of the temp gauge. I've got to baby it tomorrow if it will let me so I can go to work and get a replacement on order, and I'll have to take the day off Monday to get this done. I love this truck, but its failure timing always sucks...
    Edit: changed the water pump, had an air bubble in the system, overheated again and stuck the thermostat open. Waited an hour for my little brother to bring my tools to me, replaced that, only to break the coolant return hose (old and dry rotted plastic connector). By some stroke of luck, orielly's had a oem replacement return line in stock. Replaced that, burped the system thoroughly, and finally got everything in order. Also, everything after the water pump took place just off the service road of the interstate... What a great way to spend a Saturday evening...

    Question- 'm lookign to replace my waterpump and wondering after seeing you removing the fan first before the belt Could you put the fan belt on before reinstalling the fan blades?

  • @davidgraves4275

    Nice job. Very smart girl. Can’t you put the belt back on before the fan? I think it’s easier that way

    So instead of arguing with the fan. And the clutch. Why didn't you put the belt on and then twist on the fan clutch? That way, you're not fighting around those blades, the whole time

    😮I have to do this today.
    Last night something blew belt squealed very loud and major leak.
    Truck still.run but hot.
    Coolant all over battery and driverside.
    Hope its just bad water pump and idler pulley and tensioner pulley too.
    Sue, you shoulda replaced the Thermostat with gasket and change coolant sensor too.
    How much is that digital torq wrench where can I buy that same one?
    Ain't fair you make this look so easy.
    I'm changing all of these and also oil sensor while I'm underhood.
    I have same Dakota 3.9v6 quad 4wd

    My belt just slides. Can you tell us how to stop the clutch from moving. Is there a way to lock it so I can remove the nut my belt does not hold to unscrew the fan clutch. ok I'm back, rent the tool. Put 2 bolts in those holes and use the tool and wrench to break it free ua-cam.com/video/NXGje5DoqgA/v-deo.html
