Here I come did u get it

@@22floridacat Bro, are you nuts? Film what? Do what? Say what? Alls I said was that I didn't want to DIY this job bc it's obviously a PITA.

@@lashlarue7924 naw sorry dude, i meant that for the guy that put out the video..my bad..

Would have like to see you spin it back and forth but to a mechanic this made perfect since

But the explanation of how to remove the damn thing would have been nice

I have a 05 maxima 3.5 with 140k . I have no pump issues as of now.. but I know it's coming. Did one on a 09 280z 3.5 a few years back...... NEVER again. Took 4 full days and nights

350z

Let's wait for the comment from him

The ford's 3.5 is worst.

...and still no good videos, including this one.

Did u find out how to do it?

This was thorough? I hope you're not a teacher!

I have a 350z and they are easier to work on.

And he would have deserved every bit of it! These things are a mechanical nightmare. Also don't forget he has to warranty the job, and his overhead is through the roof, and then if he makes any money he has to pay taxes on it. Not to mention the insurance he has to have to protect himself and his business. Most of what a mechanic shop charges isn't for the parts, it's all the crap it costs to keep the shop open. Remember the shop still has to pay out money even if there's no cars in the bays.

@@keithnoneyaokaaaay buddy, let’s also start talking about going to a dealer to buy a “part” lmaooo for the simplest part your talking 10x the price is that part of the scamming people or “paying the taxes 😂😂😂 there is absolutely no reason why majority of the parts and repair jobs cost so much. For example a simple break job can imagine what your getting involved with price wise from dealers and that’s just a simple Job.

@@Aesthetics622 The cost is due to Government Regulations and Taxes. Most dealers don't even own the parts department inventory, the Ford Co. does. The Dealership owner has to buy those parts from Ford at full price. The Dealer has to mark up the price 200-300% to pay for all the other costs to run the shop. The only trade off for the customer is if the vehicle is under warranty the part is free to the dealer, but the Labor the Dealership has to absorb as part of the cost to be a Dealer. Those costs are absorbed some how, so they are absorbed by other customers and vehicle buyers. I'm not saying the parts are expensive they are, I'm saying the reason they are is that 30-40% of that bill is directly tied to direct Taxes and Government Regulation Fees, then there's Embedded Taxes, those are the costs that the suppliers have to pay to get those parts to the dealer. Government Regulations and Taxes are Way out of control. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

Especially the radiator being so much. The part is only 100 dollars on Amazon! Very easy to replace!

@@Aesthetics622 The shop he took it to wasn't a dealer. With that said some dealers don't own the parts department, it's owned and run by the Manufacture and in order for the Dealer to get paid for warranty work by the Manufacturer they MUST use Manufacture Parts from them. So the Dealer pays FULL price for the part, they just pass that cost onto the customer. So you can probably thank the UAW Union for driving the price of vehicles in Labor Costs. You know a vehicle is going to cost big bucks when a UAW Union worker is probably making over 100K after you figure in benefits, the those manufactures have 100's of thousands of those workers. A new Ford Truck is over $100K, it's not the parts, it's the Labor to make the parts and put the thing together. Now with that said good on them UAW Union workers for sticking it to the Manufactures and us.

Thanks for the visit

Looking at my nieces car and they quoted her $800

I have a 2002 Altima and mine didn’t go bad until around 260 thousand

Water pumps don't go bad often, it's the seals, they get hard and shrinks a little letting coolant leak out through the hole. Some people just change only the seals. But with a high mileage engine, it's only logical to replace the whole pump and seals.

Swivel socket if you have one through the wheel well

Can you fit a rachet wrench in place of the socket?

No.

@@leakyjeep5.9 I heard... yes. That is exactly what takes out a lot of VQ engines, leaks into the crank case.

@@RastusMcbride So you're telling me there's no weep holel between the two o rings on the water pump?

@@leakyjeep5.9 Nope, but these pumps do leak internally to the engine, that's common knowledge.

​@@RastusMcbrideabsolutely not true. They leak coolant from the weephole ending up behind the a/c compressor, before hitting the pavement below.

Great video btw!!! One of the best on the subject. The other videos do suck

I have a shop, so this was a customer car I was working on.

​@@95z28onjuice what did you charge

Did you figure this out?
