Performed this repair on my 2012 FX4 about 18 months ago. Truck had around 144K miles when the pump failed. The impeller actually broke off the back of the pump. Took the opportunity to replace all the hoses, including the heater hoses, as they were original to the truck.

One tip I would recommend for the 11-14 owners attempting this repair. When you go to drain the radiator, get yourself about 18 inches of 1/4" vacuum hose and put the hose on the drain tube before opening the petcock. This will allow you to better direct the draining coolant into a pan.

I replaced mine around 80, 000. + miles. No leaks but squeaking until warm, replaced belts, pulleys, tensioner with still with same noise. It ended up being the water pump. Actually pretty easy on the 2014.

Thank you Brian! My farm family has been a Ford family for nearly 100 years. One of my favorite channels.

When ever I did a job like that while working in the City Fleet, I usually ordered what I needed, plus, like you, I made sure to order the parts around the job, because as you know, time, mileage, and vibration will cause parts to leak or break. We step up that cause when we remove them if they're in the way. When people would ask why I'm changing other parts beside the original one I say, "I do the job once!" Eliminate comebacks!
Good one Brian! Thanks for the video.

A great DIY video. Anyone should be able to follow this and get their waterpump changed. Definitely one of the best auto mechanic channels on YouTube. Thanks

[kevinhintz]

It’s not O.C.D. To an Experienced techs, like yourself It’s: A.T.D.! 👍

[rodneymiddleton]

When I have a lot of fasteners to torque I will take a Whiteout marker and mark each fastener so I don't forget anything. Nice job!

[chrisforker]

Great detailed video! I don’t even have a Coyote and it’s entertaining! Thanks Brian!

I have a 2012 FX4 5.0 and my water pump developed a slow leak when it had about 120, 000 miles a couple of years ago. Interestingly enough, I had purchased a Gates water pump from Rock Auto but, during my install, I found out one of the holes in the pump wasn’t allowing the bolt to thread. Thankfully, the Ford dealer wasn’t far away and went and got the Motorcraft. Install was easy after that. Everyone is free to do what they want but I’ve learned to go OEM for more important parts. I replaced all of the hoses, belts, and the new yellow coolant. Not an overly difficult job.

That truck has some major rust !! Brian you need to relocate to Montana, rust free vehicles Marine!

[georgeburns]

Amazing how easy the new pump went in after watching the how hard the old one was to pull out. I wish the water pump on the 3.5 2008 Taurus was external and easy to replace like this F150. You did a video years ago on replacing it.

[hddawg]

LOL... Figures, I was looking for this video about 2 weeks ago! Had to change mine on July 4th. Something easy became a pain in the arse.
Didn't realize there were 3 and 4 hole water pumps! Obviously, I installed the wrong one first. Thanx for the info though!

[stephencooper]

Where was this video last year? I got her done, but this would have saved me some time and headaches.

[oldbiker]

Job well done young man we apricate you very much as well as your lucky customer's.

[marvelousmarv]

Brian, did I miss the link to the parts list that mentioned you would provide at about 27:40 in the video? I don't see any link....

[stevenewsam]

So many plastic nylon fluid connections that can barely be touched without creating a leak... If I had one of these trucks and was keeping it long term, I would look into eliminating as many as feasible.
