While the water pumps on these engines have minor differences and connection options, the actual pump and the process to change it are similar. The main difference is treads for a mechanical fan or no treads for engines that utilize an electric fan. As you'll see in the video, some plugs, pipes, and connections are slightly different, but the disassembly and reassembly are very similar.
I've tried to keep a quick pace in the video to get you on the job as quickly as possible. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, and I will try to help you if I can.

OEM Water pump - This is much more expensive, but the cheaper after-market pumps may not come with new sensors or plugs. In my opinion - On this engine, these pieces are easily changed if they later fail. I opted for the much less expensive aftermarket part, but this may be a better option if you need these parts.

    Sir I would like to thank you. I watched your video twice and got to work. Including a list of exactly what you need was a god send. Got the job done, ran it up to temp and no leaks!Thank you for the video!
  • This has to be one of the best walkthroughs I've ever watched. Kudos fine sir.
  • @lldadb664
    One of the best repair videos I've ever watched! As a shadetree (at best!) mechanic, a major thing I feel that separates me from a real mechanic is knowing all the little tips and tricks of performing a job properly and more easily. Thanks for sharing some of those with us in this video.
  • Clear, consice, understandable instructions. Excellent job Sir 😊
  • @vids595
    I'm a pretty good auto mechanic, but I had not done a water pump on a 5.7 before. I have to say this video is fantastic!
  • Great video - I like the production pace and edits. No rambling. I would suggest that the idler pulleys and tensioner should also be replaced. Mine were lose and did not spin freely. My water pump shaft was very lose and rattled when idling. I'm surprised it held water under pressure - 2017 Jeep GC Trailhawk 5.7L with only 53k miles (but, 7 yrs old).
  • Just finished up a 2018. No leaks no issues. Thank you very much for the great video. And an extra thanks for the torque specs.
  • I’m going to agree this is one of the best DIY videos I have watched, describing and even listing the bolt sizes, torque specs, etc. My 2006 had a couple differences as the tensioner needed just the 1/2” square end of the wrench and the pulley used a stinking torx that I had to go get but sorry can’t remember the size. Thank you!
  • Great video with really good info. The only thing I'll add is about the plug. The one you swapped from the sensor hole. That hole is the bleeder plug. Leave that plug out until you fill the system. Once coolant starts coming out put the plug back in. That will make bleeding the system a lot easier.
  • It’s almost like you knew what you’re doing 😉😉 thanks for using my video as reference. I enjoyed watching your take on the replacement!
  • Not even needed to replace my WP, but stayed all the vid👍
  • @rthetruthful
    Great video bro. Might be the instructional video I’ve ever seen
  • Thanks for posting this video. Only suggestion I have is to clean all bolts with wire brush / wire wheel. It may seem minor but I like to clean up all bolts & nuts. Makes torquing more accurate. 😀
  • @NeeoDroid
    Very good video Thank you very much!!
  • @dmaxace8245
    This was the best replacement video for my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7. The only additions that I would add is to take a picture of the serpentine belt routing and to not be cheap with the thermostat gasket. Make sure you get the rubber gasket to not only seat around the water pump orifice but to also have the lip protrude as to make the seal. I ordered the AutoZone (Duralast Thermostat 41603) thermostat and it worked fine. Literally took 2 hours and 4 hours of thermostat leaking problems. And don't forget to buy 2 gallons of the PEAK OET Antifreeze / Engine Coolant!

    Great video. Gives you the confidence you need to repair on your own.
  • This is a very smart video! This guy knows what he is doing😅!
