Pretty ordinary drama free water pump replacement here. But hey I didn't forget the brake clean John: Just wanted to add that I just did the heater hoses on my 07 Suburban 5. 3, 76k miles. Replaced the plastic t fittings and hoses. Those little t fittings are a son of monkey to get off. I had the little plastic hose clamp releases, and hose pliers. Neither of them helped. It took my old little digits squeezing and pulling and rotating those things to get them off. I checked utube and every job I saw had problems with them. Anyway I got it done and I appreciate you leading the way. Gave me confidence to tackle the job. I'm going to do the water pump next, and that looks like a piece of cake. Thanks. I did the water pump replacement w/thermostat. Took me 2. 5 hrs. Easy job. Would have been faster if I wasnt so old. Kind of slows a person down.

Wow! Hands down the best auto repair video I have ever seen. I moved 35 minutes from town. I definitely do most mine anymore. Anyway yours was my 5th try looking for torque specs. I landed about 13: 22. You were obviously talking about something you knew. Then in about 40 seconds that torque wrench came out. I had to watch the whole thing. Figured I might learn something else.

Trick Or Tip/Just did my 6. 0 water pump and got a scare. After filling the coolant and starting the engine. quickly went past operating temp. shut down waited 10 and started it a few more times like that. Turns out you need coolant in the engine to get that thermostat to open up and flow. LOL, In the end, it all worked out.

NEED HELP! Got an 02 escalade 6. 0 that only overheats while idling, with ac on. Once you get moving the temps go back to normal. I have replaced the water pump, thermostat (twice), radiator, did a flush on the cooling system, and new clutch fan as well. Still doing it

You be in serious trouble if your air tools failed. It OK until you use them on self locking bolts and nuts you will ruin the self-locking feature. No air tools on most gas turbines.

Hey Eric. Great video. Thanks. Can you share with us what soft die grinder attachment your using to polish up the mating surfaces? (Yellow I think)

At 7: 28 what do you mean if you pull the petcock out and then you have to replace the radiator? What happens if you pull the petcock out?

Im on my second water pump. For my 2004 6. 0. It has just over 300, 000 miles. I think Im getting my moneys worth out of the old girl.

Am I alone in HATING spring clamps? Whenever I run into them, I replace them with the worm-type. To me, they're so much easier to remove.
