easiest way to tell if water pump is working is to run engine until at running temp. then carefully remove radiator cap. with someone slightly reving engine, look into radiator. if the pump and thermostat are working correctly, you will see the coolant moving(circulating) in the radiator

You can check if your water pump is working by listening for any abnormal noises from the pump, monitoring the water pressure and flow rate in your system, and inspecting the pump for any leaks or visible damage.

I'm not a mechanic / technician but the way that I tell the water pump is working is : I wait until the engine thermostat is open ( the top radiator hose is hot ) and without catching anything in a moving belt I gently squeeze the top radiator hose and then release it slightly , you should feel a engine coolant surge


How can I tell if a water pump is bad on a ford Truck?

Wait until the thermostat opens , so the top radiator hose is hot , then squeeze the radiator hose and then stop squeezing - if the water pump is working you will feel a surge of coolant through the hose if the impeller inside the water pump is fine ( I'm assuming that there is no squealing sound or coolant leaking from the weep hole of the water pump )
