I would suggest starting by buying a Haynes Repair Manual for the 1994 to 2001 Dodge Ram pickups. This will include fairly straight forward instuctions on how to replace the water pump.

Purchase a Haynes Repair Manual for 1994-2001 Dodge Ram Pickups. This will help with the basics. My problem was getting the screw-on clutch fan separated from the water pump. I found help at the following link: www.pavementsucks.com/tech/fanclutch.php

I used a strap wrench or grip wrench to hold the cluch still while I loosened the nut after the serpentine was removed. A auto mechanic friend said that they always use a hammer and punch to loosen the nut by hitting just on the edges of the nut to start it spinning.

The water pump on the 3.0 litre engine is located in the valley of the V-6 engine and you need to jack up the engine and remove the passenger side engine mount to get at the timing belt to get the water pump out. It is a pretty tight installation and you should get a manual for your van to get the entire procedure.
