I have a 2005 Diesel Ram....little drops are being noticed under the front end. The color of the fluid is orange/red. One thing that confused me was that the fluid did not smell like typical anti-freeze. Glad to see that this is most likely a water pump issue too. I wish I had a shop to replace it myself....but nice to go to the Meechanic to tell them specifically what to look for and what to replace. I also have a friend with a 2005 Ram with a gas engine....same issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336589553382604297.post-33083197999906807742012-08-26T16:11:43.413-04:002012-08-26T16:11:43.413-04:00Hi Richard,

My bad!!! <br /><br />I typically get my parts from Napa or Advance Auto parts. They can tell you in person whether the part is new or rebuilt. I tend to not go for the cheapest part when shopping for them.<br /><br />And no I didn't remove any brackets to do the job.<br /><br />Again sorry for the delay! I feel bad about that. Thanks for the comments on my shop! If you're in the area and need to use the lift, let me know. : )<br /><br />WayneWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673076567462079245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336589553382604297.post-23323786807435638942012-04-30T17:20:58.540-04:002012-04-30T17:20:58.540-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673076567462079245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336589553382604297.post-39104474378780452012-04-30T16:39:13.968-04:002012-04-30T16:39:13.968-04:00Hi Wayne I posted just a moment ago and realized t...Hi Wayne I posted just a moment ago and realized that I failed to complement you on one of your best "assets" Justin.

I spoke with the parts guy and he disclaimed part failure and pointed to idler tension being to tight. No, I didn't point out that their mechanic owes me a new pump if that is the case.<br /><br />I do have two questions, one what is the best source for parts? I'm checking out Earnhardt's and Dodge Parts Discount. I have no idea whether I'm buying rebuilt or new.<br /><br />The second ? did you have to remove the bracket to the fan shroud or alternator?<br /><br />Thanks for the info and I am just a little jealous of your shop.

I haven't been doing much mechanical work lately, just brewing lots of beer. But I do have a couple projects that I need to post up here and I am going to do a complete transfer case seal replacement soon which should be pretty intensive.<br /><br />I've not seen that problem on our 05 yet but it certainly sounds like the culprit. I haven't changed a manifold before but I did put in a BD Brake exhaust brake on my 01. Didn't have to remove the manifold or anything but I did have to drill it for the thermo sender. I don't think it would be too difficult to do though.<br /><br />I'm glad you found the blog helpful!!!<br /><br />WayneWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673076567462079245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336589553382604297.post-84167557789907607012011-01-14T13:17:47.265-05:002011-01-14T13:17:47.265-05:00Great site.

I ordered hoses from Geno's and noticed the lower in the truck currently has some kind of spring. Which is what i searched on the web and found your great site/blog. although my pump is currently in good health, I'm suffering an exhaust smell in the cab and there is soot from #1 exhaust port I'm assuming thats where the smell is coming from so I checked out a local diesel shop to install a BD exhaust manifold and they've quoted me 3 hours to re-re.

When putting the new water pump on I used a long pry bar and wedged it against the front of the pump to hold it to the engine block while I threaded the bolts on. I really had to improvise because there just wasn't any way both my arms were going to fit in there.<br /><br />WayneWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673076567462079245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336589553382604297.post-82542738688541634972010-10-18T21:55:45.631-04:002010-10-18T21:55:45.631-04:00Did you remove the fan shroud?

This...Oh and just noticed the thermostat question. This one is super simple. Basically follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the top of the engine - if looking at the engine from the front, it connects right up front on the left side of the valve cover. You'll see a black 90 degree elbow that is bolted to the block with 3 or 4 little bolts. Take those bolts out and remove the elbow. The thermostat is right in that hole and is super easy to remove and replace.<br /><br />A little more clarity on the belt tensioner; to locate it think of the front of the engine as a clock and you'll find it at about 8:00. It's basically shaped like infinity symbol with it being bolted to the engine on the left, and on the right you'll find the 1/2 inch ratchet insert. Put your ratchet in there and turn to the left(I think) and the belt will loosen.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673076567462079245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336589553382604297.post-75013649289447022832010-10-11T17:59:57.063-04:002010-10-11T17:59:57.063-04:00Hey Blaine,

Basically if you look at the belt tensioner you'll see what looks like the ratchet side of a 1/2 inch ratchet socket. You pretty much put the ratchet or ratchet extension right into that small square hole and turn. As you torque on the ratchet the tensioner will move and release tension on the belt. No sockets are necessary - just the ratchet or 1/2 inch ratchet extension. I hope this helps!<br /><br />WayneWaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673076567462079245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336589553382604297.post-15058188969988107712010-10-11T17:02:48.472-04:002010-10-11T17:02:48.472-04:00wayne.. in your write up you said you used a 1/2&q...wayne.. in your write up you said you used a 1/2" ratchet to loosen the tension on the belt... where exactly do i loosen the tension.. and is it a 1/2" socket? or you just used the handle of a 1/2" ratchet to loosen it?.... im lost, despite how helpful your post is.<br /><br />also, where is the thermostat? i need to change that out as well...<br /><br />Thanks<br />BlaineBlaine Ingramnoreply@blogger.com
