Bravo, well done, thumbs up!!

Bro…..u saved me some dollars my man!!! Good tutorial and extremely accurate!!! I’m not mechanical inclined at all but I was able to do this with a friend in less than 2 hours. Very easy to do if u have a ratchet and socket set! Total cost with antifreeze, new thermostat, water pump and jumper cables 180.00!!!!

good job - one thing for everyone to be aware of that you did not mention is you need to understand what coolant was in the system prior to putting in new coolant. You don't want to mix different coolants. That is bad news. If you had used Dexcool and then added that Peak stuff you would have issues. I would not trust the 'mix with any antifreeze claim on the bottle! ' I thought that vehicle would have come with Dexcool. Lastly never use a razor blade for this job. Use a plastic blade and some steel wool to make sure the surface is clean. Razor can damage that aluminum easily. A rare earth magnet cleans up the steel wool remnants but put a paper towel in the holes to keep them clean. Thanks for the video!

I'll let you in on a dealer secret. New cars make dick for money now a days. Used sales are far more profitable. The new places make up that income with mechanical services. What you want to do is find a brand focused mechanic(works specifically on a certain brand/s of car). Once you can trust the guy, he will save you gobs of money.

DRY ROTATION OF THE WATER PUMP As well as helping to keep the engine cool, coolant plays an important role in forming an efficient seal inside the water pump. This so-called mechanical seal is a “dynamic seal” typical for rotating equipment such as pumps. When a water pump operates, the liquid could leak out from the small gap (just a few micrometers wide) between the pump’s internal two rings that rotate relative to one another (one ring rotates with the shaft, the other ring is stationary). In order to avoid this leakage, a fluid barrier formed by coolant between the rings is needed. Dry rotation of the water pump can permanently damage the rings, leading to premature noise and/or coolant leakage. How to avoid: First refill the cooling circuit with coolant, then rotate the pump’s drive pulley about ten times without the belt tensioned on the pulley. This will allow a small amount of coolant to form the mechanical seal before the engine is started. If this is not possible because e.g. radiator hoses are disconnected, or, if you want to test the new pump’s rotation ability before installation, it is a good idea to pour some new coolant over the pump holding it the impeller-side upwards before rotating it about ten times. Alternatively, you could also fill a reservoir with new coolant and immerse new pumps to safely test them.

Thanks for doing this video! Gave me the confidence to change the water pump on my 2004 Suburban. I don't do car repairs that often. So not having much money, I decided to do it myself after watching this video. I used a pipe wrench to get the fan off. It was the only thing I had that was big enough to go around that fan bolt. Advice to others, the coolant can be messy. Don't do this in your garage or driveway if you DONT drain your system. Coolant is very poisonous to dogs so do do this where animals can get access to pooling coolant. So thanks for the video, you spaced me a ton of $.

I wanted to thank you for this video. I changed the water pump in my 05 Yukon with relative ease aside from underestimating the emphasis on the fluid that was going to come out. After only removing one hose the pan was catching little to non as it was splashing of other parts on the way down, so after cleaning up that mess I opted to use a kiddie pool to catch everything. Probably should have been filming that whole episode as it was no doubt hilarious. But, thank you again it was truly helpful and to the point. It's nice not to have to watch a bunch of useless crap in between. 😁

I got an 05 tahoe with the electric fan. Thinking I'mma need to change mine soon. The bearings are starting to squeek. It's really a simple job with the electric fan. You don't have to completely remove the radiator hose, just disconnect from the pump. Leave the fan shroud alone, it's not necessary to remove, at all. All you need is a good ratchet and maybe 3 different sockets lol. But I don't use a razor to scrape the block. Not since it's aluminum. I use a non abrasive scour pad. Cleans great and I guarantee you will never knick the mating surface.

Thanks for the video. Almost done with the job. Snapped one of the t-stat housing bolts, but luckily had enough thread exposed to back it off when I took the housing back off. Googling, I find repeated warning not to overtighten thermostat housing bolts since they can strip out. Torque spec on thermostat bolts is only 11 ft. pounds! Just hope I haven't ruined mine. Won't know until tomorrow I guess. "Reinstall the housing and tighten down bolts snugly. Torque them with your torque wrench. If your engine is one of the following then toque them to 21 ft lbs: 4.3L, 5.0L, or 5.7L. If your engine is a 7.4L then torque the bolts to 27ft lbs. If your engine is a 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.0L then torque the bolts to 11 ft lbs. Make sure you do not over tighten them."

Water Pump was lifetime warranty and Napa was gracious enough to work with shop to get me a new one. Shout out to Riverton Napa in Salt Lake City! Other than the bolt delay waiting for GMC parts to open today, it was a fun doing it myself. My 2005 has electric fans, so didn't have to mess with fan or shroud at all, so it was much easier IMO.

Thanks for this, I’m going to do mine on my 04 yukon.. the darned thing just let go yesterday morning without any warning. Stopped for coffee and some guy said there was coolant pouring out from my car, looked under hood and yep, she let go. Lol

Same again. Well made video, saved me a ton of money and just so easy to follow. 2004 Sierra 2500HD is almost the same. Subscribing!

One note: The clutch fan is almost never that easy to remove in my experience and in numerous compressor/pump videos I also usually see many comments regarding it. On the Yukon I am able to use my big adjustable wrench that I have for changing my tow balls out on my Ford, for my Ford I need that specialty tool because there is not enough clearance to slide it in (though now I just use a crowfoot big enough to fit it and attach it to my belt tool) If you struggle with removing the clutch fan, taking a small C-clamp and clamping down on that black housing and belt will stop it from spinning. You can use cardboard to protect the belt or what you probably should be doing, just replace the belt. Lucky me I had the pleasure of doing all of this already last month when replacing the power steering pump (and both belts while at it along with the coolant censor and thermostat) I almost replaced the water pump as well because I was already there and I was getting a "coolant hot" notice once every couple of months but no CEL and no pending codes which is why I replaced the censor and thermostat and checked the wire harness. I did test the old parts but they were already out and it was a total of about 30$ so I just went ahead and replaced them.
