SOURCE: How to replace a water pump on a 1999 dodge

so i just replaced my water pump today on the same car, mine is a 5.9 magnum. I drained the whole system before i started working on it, next you have to take off the fan, if you look on the inner side of the fan there is a big nut there, in order to loosen that i put to bolts into the holes on the water pump pulley and used a thin screwdriver for leverage, while putting pressure on that, i loosened the nut, be careful not to slip cuz those fan blades are dangerous. but once you have removed that nut from the pulley take out the four bolts holding on the housing, pull the fan and the housing out at the same time. next remove the belt, after that is done, disconnect the hoses from the water pump, there are three, one on each side and one on top. there are a total of eight bolts holding the pump on, keep track of them because they are different sizes. But that is how i removed mine. It was all farely simple i am a girl and i managed to do it so i think you should be fine. Hope it works for you becuase it didnt work for me, i now think that it is my head leaking, if you know anything about that let me know.

2005 Dodge Dakota SLT V8: Why is the coolant reservoir always appear to be bone dry?
It should never be bone dry. The coolant should be topped up to be between the marks. Did you read the Owner Manual?

2001 Chrystal 300m installed new radiator new cap and thermomitor and it still keeps over heating. Water pump is fine seem like it have vapor lock?
How hot does it get in degrees F? Does the radiator fan work ok? Can you check for any coolant flow through the radiator? Any applicable trouble codes? Check the coolant temp sensor and check for combustion gases in the coolant. Are you losing coolant?

Is there a water system diagram available for a honda ballade 150 luxline 1998?
There is definitely no valve there - the only pressure relief valve would be inside the radiator cap. What you see is leakage from a water pump bolt or from the water pump itself. You could try applying a waterproof sealant to that bolt, but it's tricky - allow the engine to cool FULLY, then remove the bolt and hold your finger over the bolthole while a helper applies sealant to the bolt threads. Quickly put the bolt back in the hole so you don't lose very much coolant, tighten the bolt again.

If that doesn't do it, then the leak is really coming from the front seal of the water pump - meaning the water pump needs to be replaced.

How do I check to see if the water pump is working on a 1991 Ford Bronco?
  1. Open the car hood and locate the thermostat on the top of the radiator lid. Pull the thermostat and start the car. Watch the temperature gauge carefully. If the water pump is working properly, the engine should take a long time to warm up (if it ever does). With the thermostat removed, the coolant should circulate continuously, making it harder for the engine to warm up. If you cannot tell if the car is heating up slow or not, move to Step 2.
  2. Turn the car off and locate the water pump and the water pump drive belt in the engine compartment. Use the wrench set to loosen the belt retaining bolt and pull the belt off of the pump. Spin the belt drive with your hands to see if it rolls smoothly and to determine if there is any movement or "play" in the driveshaft. If the pump seems in good working order, replace the belt, tighten the retaining screw back up, and move on to Step
  3. Locate the coolant drain plug on the bottom of the radiator and use the wrench set to remove it. Allow all of the coolant to drain out into a container and dispose of it. Replace the drain plug in the bottom of the radiator and then pour coolant into the radiator. Start the car up and watch the level of coolant carefully. If the water pump is working properly, the coolant level should drop quickly as the pump circulates coolant to other areas of the engine. Fill the radiator back up with coolant and watch it to drop again. If the coolant drops then your water pump is fine, however if the coolant drops very slowly or not at all it may be time for a new pump.

How to change a water pump
First drain the coolant if possible (you will find a drain **** on the bottom drivers side of rad). Loosen the water pump pulley bolts while serpentine belt still attached (10mm X 4). Remove the serpentine belt, and plastic diagram bracket just above the waterpump. Remove the (8mm bolts X 5) holding the water pump to front engine housing. Note the little arrow or triangle at the top of waterpump when removing, it will help you to install new water pump in same location. Scrape off most of the old gasket material, use fine sand paper to clean engine surface as best as possible. Install new gasket to water pump, and align the holes (it only goes on one way, and maybe upside down if they don't line up). Locate arrow and reinstall, torque 5 bolts to 89 in/lbs tight but not too tight. Reinstall pulley, serpentine belt and bracket. Tighten the pulley bolts, refill coolant (close drain ****). Just above the waterpump there is a coolant hose with a little 7mm screw for a bleeder. Open the bleeder (engine off). Continue to fill rad with coolant until it comes out bleeder. Close bleeder and test run. Recheck the coolant level later when cooled.

My engine is overheating, and when i lift the hood it appears that the coolant in my coolant reservoir is boiling/bubbling....there doesnt seem to be a leak except from the reservoir itself, the reservoir...
With the engine cool open radiator cap. If the level is low you are losing coolant. Go for a 30/40 dollars, radiator compression test. Might be a bad radiator cap seal, water pump leak cylinder head gasket.
If the coolant level is in top, then there are many other reason.

Engine over heats,Im losing antifreeze, smaller fan does not work but the large fan works fine. I have flushed the coolant and changed therastat.
Can you see where the antifreeze may be coming from. it could be the weep hole in the water pump letting the water out, this is "saying the water pump is bad " or it could be a simple problem as the coolant cap isn't holding the pressure and needs to be replaced. This will cause a car to over heat and lose coolant.
