Man! You Are Thee Best Mechanic I’ve Ever Had The Pleasure Of Watching! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

For anyone wondering this works on a 2008-2014 Dodge Avenger 3.6L thanks for the great video!

This is the best auto repair video I have seen on KZread. Great work, well done.

Absoulte best video EVER. He even shows the proper torque settings. It worked exactly as shown on my 2012 T&C.

Yea it's great if you own a car lift.

Thank you for this video. I followed it step by step.. replaced the water pump, thermostat, idler pulley and drive belt on a 2012 VW Routan SE on 12-29-2020. Your video is excellent. Thanks again!

Great information. I just replaced the water pump in my 2017 Journey. In my vehicle, the top mounts were much easier to remove. I did have an issue where just removing the top mount didn’t give me enough clearance to remove and install the pump, I additionally had to loosen the lower center mount bolts, (located center of vehicle, just behind the front bumper), to get enough clearance to swap out the pump. To those asking about the upper mounts and the idler pulley, the upper mount bolts run through the pump housing, the idler pulley does too. Might as well replace them while you’re at it. Removing the thermostat makes life dealing with the upper mount and the serpentine belt much easier, replace it too.

It's a pleasure to watch this guy work. Thanks for the great video, couldn't have done the job without it..

This is Soo good I watch his videos for all my car issues 😢

Nice thorough, detailed video! Thank you!! Great job!

Thank you so much Finally I replaced my water pump under your guidance

Outstanding your showing good practices and of course experience. Very thorough.

Thanks! This was exactly the video I needed.

The best video I've seen so far. Awesome Job!!!!!

This is for 2011 & newer 3.6L Pentastar engines

Just purchased a 2014 Town&Country 2 weeks ago and yesterday it overheated. When it cooled I checked the radiator and was empty or very low. Was dreading the water pump fearing it was a timing belt driven internal unit and was ready to junk the van. Watching this video took all that dread off and am ready to tackle a normal repair job thank goodness! Pink antifreeze? Same as what I use in my Cayenne? All aluminum engine? Asking because I have several bottles of that left over still.

Your videos are so thorough! Another great tutorial for the diy! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Great video, help me out getting a handy lift van back in service for our city.

That was awesome instructional. Great job.

Awesome video, thanks

Great job. The only thing I question is mixing the coolant. Mopar pink coolant should have been used for the top up.

Thanks for a video was very helpful, I just took drain plug all out and lost the O ring 💍 in the fluid 😂 so I has a pretty good leak good thing I found it

Thank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please stay safe and well. Matt Vea

Hey... Great Vid. You are a Natural Instructor - - - I really love that tool that U hav2 release the Hose Clamp's. Thanks 4 making. LJR-III

ATTENTION VIEWERS: This is NOT for Grand Caravan 2008-2010 like the TITLE suggests. This video is for 2011 and newer 3.6L ONLY. The details in the video desc are correct, but the title is very misleading.

JESUS, you make the work so easy, thanks. How much experience do you have???

I must say this is probably one of the best informative well explained videos I have seen . Great Job I look forward to watching and learning more from your content . Thank you for sharing your knowledge

sir, your video is great, could we reach the upper bolts of the water pump and remove them without removing the engine mount? Also, I noticed you remove the jack down the oil pan during your work with removing the old water pump and putting the new one. I think we should keep the jack hold the engine till the last minute, is that correct?

Looks like he let the motor drop to give him more room for the water pump! I’m sure that was the purpose of removing the water pump!

Thanks...Getting to the point..

Isn't that the oil pan?

This is a nice video. What essentially did not come into play until 2012. This procedure does not work from 08 to 11.

Could you put a name and part number for the hose clamp tool and the anti freez fill kit? I have never seen one and would get it if I knew more about it. Nicely done!

+Vicki Chamberlain Thanks for watching! We carry both of those parts. Please check out www.1aauto.com and search by these part numbers: 1AXAA00116 (coolant fill kit) and 1AXAA00076 (clamp tool).

Excelent. Very tanks

do the belt tensioner need to be replaced top?? since is disassembling the whole lot there

Do you have to pull the harmonic balancer?

Good job how much time did it take you for the whole job

What about the rubber washers on the bolts? You reuse these?

Great instructional. Thinking of replacing mine soon on a 2010 Grand Caravan SXT. How much labor are we saving here in dollars so I can tell the wife. Lol, I know.

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful and very well made.

Is this the same process for 2009 volkswagen routan

Why do you need to remove the engine mount?

Does anyone know if a video exists for the dodge grand caravan 2010 3.8 liter.

Can I remove the water pump without removing motormouth.?

What is the name of that awesome hose clamp tool and who makes it? 😍

Make sure you put the proper antifreeze G05 for the Chrysler.

The years listed in the title are wrong! Title says 08-20, although the description says 11-17 which I suppose could be correct. I've been very confused looking at different videos and my van until I figured this out. I have an 08 and it is definitely different.

Would this apply to a 2017 Pacifica 3.6l touring as well?

I dont see why it wouldn't.

what is the cost of labor to put the water pump

What’s the labor time For This job

Is that a 2008/ 2010 3,3liter Dodge caravan,please? It looks different from 2009 caravan

The jack (or some type of support for the engine) should stay in place at all times

Good video but what about the poor guy laying outside on his back without a rack .

@NorthernChev

The use of a rack was to make filming easier. This is done exactly the same on the ground. This isn’t that big of a deal in a driveway.

Very good video. But please include the engine size in the title.

3.6L Pentastar V6 with 6 speed auto stick 62TE transmission.. Dodge grand caravan,Dodge avenger, Chrysler Town & Country, Chrysler 300M and VW Routan, I highly recommend using OEM parts from the Chrysler dealer.. especially thermostat

i dont know why you remove the transmission mount if you do all the work underneat the car it does not make no sense to me

Don't forget to unhook the battery before starting

I dont see why you remove the upper engine mount it's not even in the way???

He removed the upper mount so that he could drop the engine a bit to gain access to the pump.

Changed my water pump and now it cranks bit doesn't start

This is not the same procedure for the 4.0 engine

08 waterpump is different. does not have pulley on it

this video does not apply to the 2008 -2010 4.0L V6 engine version..

Your title says 2008-2020 Caravan and it is only for the 2011-2020 models. I have a 2010 and the water pump does not look anything like this one. It is much smaller.

He didn't show one thing and that was removing the piece of hose and closing the plug up

Watched half of the video before realizing this isn’t the video for a 2010 Caravan water pump. 2010 Caravan water pump is half the size of the one in this video that claims to be for 2008-2020.

I did not realize that is what they are used for. I thought thier purpose was to center the bolt on the hole so the pump lines up correctly. I bought a new pump from Napa made by Gates and the holes for the bolts were slightly larger in diameter than the factory pump. This caused those spacers to fit very loosely. Any thoughts ?

That's not an 08 grand caravan They ARE NOT THE SAME

grand total? 550 freaking dollars!!! the mechanics are losing money as they SHOULD for the way they price "based on how hard the job is" as apposed to the fact that they are there to WORK... ALL the day, REGARDLESS of what is before them. So if there are 5 "easy" jobs, or 1 hard one, the time youre at work is the SAME. these mechanics need to be based on hour rates. BUT EVEN THEN they are gonna rip you off by charging long... THIS IS WHY KZread SHOULD BE GIVEN AN AWARD for their assistance in helping us dodge these freaking rip off people. I was charged hundreds for replacing the thermostat housing! I didnt know my wife had them do that! PLEASE EXPLAIN AWAY, where 100 bucks was needed to be charged for changing a thermostat housing!?

yeah....that has nothing to do with a 2008 Dodge - Completely diferent....

Literally none of this applies to a 2008, get your years right.
