5.7L HEMI Water Pump Install Replacement 05 - 10 | Magnum Charger Challenger Commander Grand Cheroke

How to install water pump on a 5.7L HEMI Dodge Chrysler Jeep. Including the 300 Challenger Charger Magnum Commander Grand Cherokee. #jeep #dodge #chrysler Gates WP for the 5.7L HEMI: (Amazon Affiliate) https://amzn.to/2VZG052 The water pump is driven by the accessory belt on the Dodge Ram 5.7, 4.7, and 3.7 engines. The belt turns the water pump pulley that is bolted to the shaft, which connects to the impeller. As the engine rotates, the impeller turns at the same speed and creates enough centrifugal force to force coolant into the many passages of the engine. Water pumps contain two key areas that are prone to failure. Between the shaft and housing are bearings that are designed to withstand the tension created by the accessory belt. Damage to these bearings can cause water pump noise and loss of rotation. To keep the coolant inside of the pump, a seal is used that surrounds the shaft. Dodge used a viscous fan on these model years instead of an electric. This type of fan threads into the water pump shaft and is locked in place by a large nut. Removal of this fan can be tricky at times, but with the right tools it can be done. Clean the water pump mating surface on the block. Fine sandpaper and steel wool work best for this area. Spray some type of cleaning solvent (similar to brake parts cleaner) on a rag and wipe away any excess dirt/dust. Install the new gasket onto the water pump. Make sure the gasket is fully pressed into the pump. If your water pump contains a thermostat, install it into the new pump with the spring end inside of the pump. Some thermostats will have a small tip on the rubber diaphragm facing away from the water pump. This tip needs to sit at the 12 o'clock position. Start the water pump bolts by hand until all are snug. Tighten the bolts in a criss-cross pattern. The torque spec is 25 ft./lb. for the 4.7 and 3.7 engines. For the Hemi, the torque spec is 30-35 ft./lb. Re-install the coolant hoses onto the pump. You will want to use worm gear clamps instead of the factory spring clamps if they appear weak.
