2. Ok fren for my

3. You ever see a fuel leak come from under a water pump l98 tpi on a 1991 Corvette

4. Talking way to much about what’s wrong with your truck, just show how to change the damn water pump

5. Thank u!!

6. Is there a bigger or smaller pulleys to spin water pump faster for a 1998 gmc k1500 for better cooling ?

8. Both videos were great. Job went smooth. I had to invent a tool to get the fan off. I wedged part of a fishing spear in it.

9. Gd video i just got a 98 tahoe n the water pump is bad

10. that look like a weep hole were you said the leak was ?

11. your rubber ripped . Get venom gloves.

12. About time bro!!!! I love these trucks. Matter of fact I own one and I love it .

13. You can be my mechanic. Although I know a lot in the department but I’m mainly computers! For sure!

14. I like your humor, marry me?

15. Nice video bro.

16. Thanks Eric, you helped get us through the fix. Couldn't get the big nut off either, ended up taking the pump off with fan attached, clamping pulley into vice and using a long pipe over the wrench to get more leverage, while the other hit it with hammer eventually gave way. Man we were glad to get that thing apart, took hours just to get the nut undone.

17. Thanks Eric another great video, very helpful. Shouldn't the coolant be orange Dex-cool?

18. I have a gmc sierra 1996 5.7, hazards only work when i press the brake but dont flash. Bulbs, relays, fuses and multifunctional switches are all good, circuit board works. Any thing else would work? Thanks

19. Just wanna say Thank You Eric! Just put on my first water pump and it went smoothly and painlessly because of your very helpful video! Thanks again, Eric!

20. Good job on the video. Thanks especially for making the extra effort with the camera to show us close ups.

21. this guy is lkinda clutsy!

22. Tool abuse?? You was swinging that hammer like a sissy.

23. The pipe wrench is a WIN!! My dad helped me take out the clutch fan from my 1994 towncar. Jeez that was the Hard part 😂

24. A couple years ago I replaced the water pump on my 99 Tahoe, now I'm replacing the power steering pump and wanted to get the fan out of the way for easier access, fast forward through the video to the fan removal part and seen you using the pipe wrench , I tried that too, I thought he gets that off I'm going to shit, I didn't have a wrench that big, gonna have to borrow one, and I couldn't remember if it was left or right handed threads, thanks Eric on the right track now. Subbing up 👍

25. "Remember you are its master" washer falls into coolant

    very informative video though, gonna try to replace the water pump on my 99 tahoe. thanks for the help!

26. When I used to work on commission I loved water pumps, couple of them in a week guaranteed a good paycheck.

27. Driving down the highway last night, heard a sound and something fell. Pulled over and saw that the fan had fallen off and damaged the radiator. So this video is PERFECT. Subscribed.

28. i wish you would have shown us the sound first, every time you think you have to change something. just hearing the sound helps us.

29. Agree one of my favorite engines too

30. What happens if you don't put liquid thread on the 4 water pump bolts when installing? Will it leak?

31. And that's why I removed the fan clutch and installed an electric fan.

32. sometimes i put band aids on under my gloves before wrenching .

33. just enough room to rip the skin off your knuckles .

34. Is the special tool a wrench , rubber (dead blow) mallets are more forgiving .

35. All you had to do was put a wrench in the tensioner tighten the belt and hit the wrench on the fan with the hammer

36. Awesome now we're changing out our water pump on our Tahoe and have already changed out the thermostat. thanks so much for the information.

37. you are erickthecarguy and im erickthecoolguy

38. I want to say thanks thumbs up on your video because I am doing my water pump right now and I say the job is easy thanks for the tips and you all have a great day

39. u the man

    Here is a way that works every time

41. Don't remove the belt before you loosen the bolts on the water pump pulley. With the belt on you still have tension and the bolts come off easy.

42. There's a drain plug on the bottom right of the radiator (when viewing from front of car) that lets you drain almost everything. Makes less of a mess than removing the lower radiator hose.

43. Very detailed video, thanks!

44. you know anything about swapping parts from one motor to the other? if so could you tell me if I can run a 92 pulley system on a 97 vortec chevy both 350s of course.

45. Just bought a 96 box truck with supposedly 50k some miles on it that is leaking like a bum in an alley towards the from from what I can tell. I sure hope is something simple like a water pump. Sure doesn't have the room a truck has to work under the hood, can tell that already.

46. the pump to block bolts are 9/16 or 14 not a 15, or whatever works

47. I used the tips from this video to replace my water pump.  It worked out well.  Thanks

48. i got my whip fix now we crussing down the street in my 6 4
