After watching your video, I got the confidence to do my own. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Is there a special bleed or burping procedure after refilling the coolant? Thanks. Great vid.

I am replacing the water pump on a 2006 Freestyle. The keyways sheared off. I am finding that is a recurring problem. I checked Ford online and it says discontinued. I located a pump with the cam bolt as opposed to the key way. Wish me luck.

Did you notice while you working in that area by the throttle body. A small vaccum looking line. It comes from under the TB to the front of the TB, up to the top goes thru a plastic hose holder on the TB and u turn downward and is connected to nothing. Is that normal. I find it unusual. Would it be a vent line of sorts?

Does that thing run off the cam shaft ??

[txmexican]

What if it leaks through the weep hole

[BrooklynNY]

What if u get the same water pump as the original

There's any gasket between the water pump and the thermostat housing?

How did you get the air bubbles out the system

How is your water pump still holding up on your 3.0 Duratec engine? I've heard several folks say to only use the bolt on water pump and not the one with the ear/tab's? Thanks, John

I swear you sound like dax shepherd... not sure if thats a compliment. But great video my friend thanks for the help

Did you put the long bolt back in? Or did it not need it with the Murray pump

[jameskleine]

NEVER use a after market water pump on this model vehicle. Only use Fords pump with attaching bolt!!

[suzannetaylor]

It looks like my coolant is leaking at the connection where the cam shaft and water pump interface. Will the new water pump fix that or do you think it could be something with the cam shaft itself? Anyone please advise if you can and how it gets fixed. Thank you in advance.
