1998 Chevy Tahoe 5.7L Water Pump Replacement (Part 2) -EricTheCarGuy

1. full gracias

2. Would the bleeding method be the same for an 88?

3. THANK YOU I DID IT FIRST TIMER HERE I’ll subscribe

4. 13:00 I like to take a picture with my phone before I take the belt off. It’s an easy way to give me a diagram of how it goes back on.

5. Does any one know what the stock mechanical fan fan CFM is gor a 98 gmc k1500 ?

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

7. The green coolant is fine ,just never mix it with GM Dex .It will turn to sap . GM Vortec (R Code) have an intake gasket unlike the(K) , dex-cool at 70% will help with lube it needs to keep from leaking . Best thing is that they leak outward most of the time .

8. Good job. One bit though. The etc on the threads… Would you be better waiting a day before putting fluids back in?

9. Thanks for this vid! Love how the gasket starts to slide at 2:31… Might want to let it set up a bit longer and use a bit less spray or maybe put the bolts thru to keep it stationary.
   Smart move to remove the idler pulley.
   I'm about to do this on a 99 Yukon.

10. Thank you for a great video and instructions. You helped show and explain things that others do not do to make things understandable and prepare for the unexpected.

11. Little heater hoses are going by by on my truck.

12. What do you recommend on using to remove all gasket on the aluminum block

13. I thought that engine used Dex-cool

14. I did the same job last night on my 96 Sierra, its really not a hard job and once the clutch fan is out the rest is pretty easy.

15. Anyone know what type of water pump this is

16. Anyone know what lubricates the water pump bearing

17. Its hard to believe you did not replace the bypass hose to the intake or the 90 degree heater hose, those look old and are known to split from heat. A little anti-seize on the clutch threads does wonders to prevent rust. I almost fell over when Eric got out a pipe wrench in part-1

18. Great video but you mentioned you were going to do the thermostat and that's not in the video

19. Thanks, very good video.

20. Excellent information sir! Thank you!

21. Touching things on the inside of people's cars with oily gloves on is not okay. Not cool sir. But other than that this is a great video. Thank you for the info 👍

22. Thank you so much for this video! I should be able to change my water pump!

23. If a semi crack inperfection is on my gasket, should i still use it? Also should i not rtv my gaskets?

24. Better to use green coolant in these 5.7l Chevy vortec since they like to blow intake gaskets with the dexcool

25. When doing my own I always paint the new pump the day before, can't stand having a rusty water pump on an otherwise all painted engine. I also would have replaced those heater hoses simply to save having to replace them a year or 2 later when it's harder to do. But for a customer you can't go to the extra time and expense unless the hoses really are bad or they ask you to paint it (and I never had that happen). 😉 Great video Eric, two thumbs up.

26. why if engine wont start

27. After doing this my new water pump start leaking again

28. thanks eric very informative !!!!!!!

29. seems like 3 ,4 hour job with the tensioner, new belt,coolant flush and new water pump .

30. this is part where you need three hands

31. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate your straight forward approach and the clean job.

32. 30 lb ft for the water pump bolts

33. Very good photography!

34. Thanks dude loved it

35. Kinda funny how my truck has same miles, same kinda truck, and my water pump just went

36. This just helped me change the water pump on my 1997 Yukon. Thanks…

37. hey Eric I'm doing the same job on a 5.0 305 v8 was woundering if on the bolts to water pump would it material what type of rtv silicone you use I don't have the blue type I have some black and the red high temp rtv would the red be fine for that to use

38. 18 ft lbs for the bolts. Just guessing since thats the torque for my 2000 s10

39. How is it when you use a rebuilt to a new Water pump when installing on a Chevy small block.
