R&R water pump
Sory if this sounds stupid. But my water pump just went out on my 92 12v @ 197k. I am very capable of doing the swap myself. This is my 4th dodge diesel I have done turbos, injection pumps, exhausts and such just not a water pump. Even my 97 with 300k on it didn't need one. I just want to ask is it really that easy? About how long will it take start to finish and is there any tricks or tools I should know about? And will a aftermarket pump be ok or should I go with Mopar?
I will be doing the swap this weekend, so any suggestions would be great.
Thank you all for your time,
Phil

I just changed mine on my 96. Not sure if your is the same. Mine is bolted on with 2 bolts. Remove belt, remove bolts and pull pump out. You may have to hit it with a mallet or stick and mallet to break the hold.
Installing the pump you have to hold it while aligning the bolt holes and inserting the bolts. I used a long stick to press against and hold the pump with one hand while I used an awl to find and align the hole with the other hand. Take an hour or less no rush. I used an Auto Zone pump with lifetime warranty.

Thanks again. I put it in this weekend. Nothing to it. Autozone pump $45.00 45 min install. Dodge quoted $450.00. Cost me $80.00 with coolant.
Thanks again, Phil
