Where is the water pump located on a 1989 Dodge Dynasty?

Answer 1

Water Pump REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old. 3.0L Engines EXCEPT PREMIER AND MONACO The 3.0L engines in all vehicles (with the exception of Premier and Monaco) use a water pump which bolts directly to the engine block, and uses a gasket for pump-to-block sealing. The pump is serviced as a unit. The water pump is driven by the timing belt. Refer to the timing belt procedures in this section to provide access to the water pump. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the cooling system. Refer to Section 1 for this procedure. Remove the timing belt and related components. Remove the water pump mounting bolts, then separate the pump from the water inlet pipe and remove the pump from the engine. To install: Clean all gasket and O-ring surfaces on the pump and water pipe inlet tube. Install a new O-ring onto the water inlet pipe. Wet the O-ring with water to facilitate easier installation. NOTE: Keep the O-ring free of oil or grease. Install a new gasket onto the water pump and install the pump inlet opening over the water pipe. Press the assembly to sit the water pipe into the pump housing. Install the water pump mounting bolts and tighten them to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm). Refer to the timing belt procedures once again, then install the timing belts and the other components removed in order to gain access to the water pump. Refill the cooling system. This system uses a self-bleeding thermostat, so there is no need to bleed the system. Connect the negative battery cable and road test the vehicle. Check for any coolant or oil leaks after the engine has warmed up to the normal operating temperature. PREMIER AND MONACO Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable. Loosen the accessory drive belt. Refer to Section 1 for this procedure. Drain the cooling system. Refer to Section 1 for this procedure. Remove the engine cover. Remove the spark plug wire retainer from the top of the thermostat housing. Remove the front damper mounting bracket nuts. Push the bracket toward the radiator but do not contact the radiator fins. Position the accessory drive belt away from the water pump. Remove the radiator upper and lower hoses from the water pump. Disconnect the coolant temperature sensor wire plug from the wire harness. On the late model Premier and Monaco: Remove the radiator hoses from the water rack and thermostat. Remove the by-pass hose from the water rack. On the early model Premier and Monaco: Loosen the clamps securing the cylinder head-to-water pump hoses at the cylinder heads. Do not remove the hoses at this time. Loosen the clamps securing the heater hoses and Y-tube connecting hose at the rear of the water pump. To remove the water pump pulley (this is not necessary for the removal of the water pump
