This video shows how to change a water pump in a Jeep Wrangler straight 6cyl. This will work on any jeep from 1996-2005 with the 4.0 Inline 6. Can also be used for earlier jeeps as well. A bad waterpump will cause you to overheat and would make it difficult to continue driving. It is easy to replace the waterpump and watching this video should prove that to you. Any questions feel free to comment below.
Here is the waterpump I used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000...

Thank you for doing this video. A shop was going to charge me $850.00 to replace my water pump, thermostat and serpentine belt. I live in an apartment. I do not have a garage and have minimal tools. For the price of $350.00. I changed my water pump, thermostat, serpentine belt and did a coolant flush. The $350.00 includes all the parts, silicone gasket maker, brake cleaner, thread sealer, gaskets, oil drain reservoir, torque wrench, serpentine belt wrench, socket drive extensions, Radiator cleaner, antifreeze, distilled water and a 20 inch pipe wrench! I saved $500.00! I gained some knowledge and tools in the process. Thank you sir!. Cheers from Texas!!! 2004/Jeep/Wrangler X...

Just a suggestion. To protect your radiator, cut a piece of cardboard that is the same size as the radiator and tape it in place to protect the cooling fins from damage. Simple and works great. Thanks again for sharing, your videos are very helpful.

My first car fix was a waterpump on a Cadillac. You can do it. Follow the video, think about everthing you are doing and be prepared to get frustrated. The key is to take a break when you cant figure something out, or get something loose (like the fan clutch bolt) and come back to it.

Here I am years later about to tackle this same job on my 05. Chris, you've been a life and money saver when it comes to keeping my old "doom buggy" running all these years. I've done so much work on it myself thanks to folks like you making the complex so simple. Thank you for all that you do, enjoy watching your vids. Edit: Also that pipe is called the inlet pipe. I'm replacing mine with this job as well because it's all rusty and crusty after nearly 20 years. Also using the opportunity to change my thermostat just to do a complete service on it and to make more room when working around and maybe avoid having to pull off that idler pulley. My philosophy if I'm making a mess spilling coolant, make a complete mess. 2nd edit: okay... i had to pull off the idler pulley anyway. It's true what they say about engineers and mechanics, it's a never-ending cycle of engineers coming up with the worst possible design choices to make a job impossible and a mechanic to defiantly work around it with all the tricks up their sleeve.

So, without much trouble, me and a buddy were able to do this whole process in the parking lot of AutoZone in under 3 hours. We ended up using liquid gasket on both the thermostat housing and new water pump (along with the new gaskets for both). I disconnected the battery to reset the code P0303 to see if it throws again. but so far everything looks good and, with the help of Chris and my buddy Caleb, we saved over $500 in shop costs. I think I only spent around $150. Thanks again.

Great video! Saved me hundreds of dollars in labor. Started by trying to replace tensioner/idle pulley/Serpentine, but then found source of squeal when the release of tension from belt released pressure on water pump and started flow of fluid from pump bleader valve. Found this video, ordered the parts, and did my first major repair. The only advice I would give is to head his warning to loosen the 4 bolts on the radior fan pulley BEFORE you release the tension on the belt. If not, you'll spend a long time trying to release that 4th siezed bolt without having any solid counter-tension. Also note that some of the hoses on these older jeeps do not come off very easily. Before you cut them and replace, take a small/thin screwdriver and gently work it into the gap and it should release, if the hoses are not too far gone. Saved me from having to cut and replace. Again, great video!!!

Perfect! I hadn't done a water pump in many, many years, so I watched your video just as a refresher and to learn of any special issues. Made a quick trip to the store for some thread sealer for that heater hose pipe and I was all set. The only thing I did differently was to drain the radiator first, just to help reducing spillage on the garage floor since I rent. It helps with some of the hose disconnections, but there is still a good spill when the pump comes out. Surprisingly, most of it stayed in the pan I had below the Jeep. Aside from that, the job went perfectly using your procedure. Thank heavens for guys like you that take the time to make these videos, so the rest of us can get back on the road quickly. Thank you!

I watched the video and it seemed really straightforward so I decided to do it myself. The water pump cost was $62 with tax and no labor cost was super nice. The tips (I.E. keeping the fan standing up) was very helpful. Thank you very much for this very helpful video.

Hey, bro.... wanted to add my "thanks" to the list of others you've helped. 20 years ago, this would have been one of those "breakdowns" that I would have "figured out as I went." And I would have been wondering, "how many bolts?" or "Is that everything? Why won't this come off?" And it would have probably gone into the night, with extension cords, bad lighting....and more knucklebusting than necessary. Thanks much for being a superb "co-mechanic." 2004 LJ is back on her feet....

Hey Chris, I’m trying to get this fan clutch belt to loosen, but it just will not move. I’ve doused it with P.B blaster and smacked it with both a pipe wrench and a massive crescent wrench. Really seems like every time it moves, it’s just cuz I’m tightening the bolts on the pulley and not loosening the fan clutch. Any tips for this? This replacement of pretty much my whole cooling system (radiator, fan clutch, water pump, thermostat, hoses) is the only thing left before my refurb is done and I can start driving this thing.

Did this on my 78 GMC pick up earlier this year. It was WAY more involved, which is shocking as you would think older vehicles would be simpler. I think it had the original water pump on it! Putting the bolts in on the new pump was a challenge as the pump weighs about 15 pounds. If the bolt was not precisely lined up, it would not go in at all. Re-applying the belts (alllll of them) and tensioning the power steering pump was the biggest pain because I could not get a pry bar, large screwdriver, or anything in to lever it. Then a google search inspired me- a 2 inch, 3 foot long piece of flat steel that I picked up at Lowe's worked perfectly. A trip to the chiropractor and I was done. I hope I never again have to replace it.

I saved $150 (which is a lot for a college student) and changed the water pump, thermostat, and V- belt on my 2000 Jeep Wrangler with 60 K miles that had probably been overheated because the previous owner put Gm Dex-Cool antifreeze and somehow the antifreeze became defective and turned in a muddy substnace. Anyways, The video was very practical thanks again Bud!

Awesome video! I changed my water pump this morning following your steps. I had trouble with the fan clutch nut, but saw others had used an air chisel. The air chisel knocked it loose in seconds for me. Other than that, it went pretty easy. Thanks for your video!

great video angles, explanation, nicely done. i did notice on my 99 jeep the water leak and suspected the water pump to give out anytime soon. Your video confirmed it, and i will replace the thermostat as well, I can't go wrong with this video, thanks!
