Water pump
Anybody know how many hours (book rate) to change a water pump on 2012 F-150 5.0 ??? Have grinding noise like a dry bearing, took belts off and spun all all pulleys and everything seems fine except water pump pulley seems have to have alot of play but there hasn't been any coolant leaking. Ohh it,s ony noisey when and seems to go away once warmed up.

Thanks. I'm hoping it won't be over 2 I know most shop's go by the book. I know if I do this myself I'll run into issues and have to find a way to get to the part's store and this is my only driver so I can't be without a vehicle for very long. So I'm just trying weigh odds on wheather to do this myself otr take it in.

Is there a problem getting one from Napa or Lordco ? The thing is will never ever darken the the doorway of my local dealship ever again and the nearest one is over 250 kms. away.

You can order it online and have it delivered. www.parts.ford.com and www.fordpartsgiant.com both sell genuine Ford parts. If that's absolutely out of the question I'd go with Napa's best warranty part. Never heard of the other one.

Considering the high failure rate of the early 5.0L water pumps, paying the huge bucks for yet another MC water pump isn't exactly inspiring confidence.

I put a water pump on my 5.0L 2014 about a year ago. It was the first water pump I've replaced in a very long time, still, everything came apart and went back together in my driveway in under 2 hours.
I don't know what the book rate is, but if you want to do this yourself it's not a bad chore. My only gripe was that the bottom pulley is so close to the harmonic balancer that it has to come off to fully remove the serpentine belt.
Good Luck!
