Has there been a thread on water pump replacement on a 7.3 diesel in a 2000 F350 4x4? I have a slight leak where there looks to be a gasket on the lower part of the water pump where it mates up to the engine block. Just wondering the procedure for doing this work and approximate time involved and if i need any special tools. Thanks for any info. Roy.

 

No special tools except to get the fan clutch off. I did mine in about 3 hours (in a strange shop spending most of the time looking for the tools I needed). Not a bad job at all just take your time and make sure all surfaces are clean.

Beautiful, now i have a good reason to get a laptop, so i can watch the" how to" videos right by my truck. Just wonder if the wife will go for it. LOL Roy

 

Try buying two. One marked HIS and one marked HERS. Hey, it might work. Then if your's crashes you have a backup.

 

Man, there is so much information in so few post in this thread. I bet Ford is reading this to learn what to do with the next generation truck.

 

Ron, thats a pretty good youtube video. Thats what I used when I replaced mine.

 

Just tried, got twice the dirty look. Nice thought though....

 

i learn from watching better then reading lol..

 

I would like to stay married a little while longer, mods for this truck aint cheap,divorce is expensive. Besides they always take the good stuff.

 

Thanks for this post. Perfect timing. I am starting to collect everything I need to replace my pump.
