Procedures — Water Pump - Coolant Air Evacuation
ℹ NOTE
To avoid damage to the cooling system, ensure that no component would be susceptible to damage when a vacuum is drawn on the system.⚠ WARNING
ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING. IF INHALED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS. WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE GLYCOL. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DISPOSE OF GLYCOL BASED COOLANT PROPERLY. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR AREA. DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR HOT UNDER PRESSURE; PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING FAN WHEN ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS PERFORMED; PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.⚠ WARNING
WEAR APPROPRIATE EYE AND HAND PROTECTION WHEN PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE.ℹ NOTE
The service area where this procedure is performed should have a minimum shop air requirement of 80 PSI (5.5 bar) and should be equipped with an air dryer system.ℹ NOTE
For best results, the radiator should be empty. The vehicle's heater control should be set to the heat position (ignition may need to be turned to the on position but do not start the motor).ℹ NOTE
Do not bump or move the assembly as it may result in loss of vacuum. Some radiator overflow hoses may need to be clamped off to obtain vacuum.ℹ NOTE
If a strong vacuum is being created in the system, it is normal to see the radiator hoses to collapse.ℹ NOTE
Ensure there is a sufficient amount of coolant, mixed to the required strength/protection level available for use. For best results and to assist the refilling procedure, place the coolant container at the same height as the radiator filler neck. Always draw more coolant than required. If the coolant level is too low, it will pull air into the cooling system which could result in airlocks in the system.ℹ NOTE
On some remote pressurized tanks, it is recommended to stop filling when the proper level is reached.




- Refer to the Chrysler Pentastar Service Equipment (Chrysler PSE) Coolant Refiller #85-15-0650 or equivalent tool's operating manual for specific assembly steps.
- Choose an appropriate adapter cone that will fit the vehicle's radiator filler neck or reservoir tank.
- Attach the adapter cone (2) to the vacuum gauge (1).
- Make sure the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve (3) is closed and attach an airline hose (2) (minimum shop air requirement of 80 PSI/5.5 bar) to the vacuum generator/venturi (1).
- Position the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly into the radiator filler neck or reservoir tank. Ensure that the adapter cone is sealed properly.
- Connect the vacuum generator/venturi (2) to the positioned adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly (1).
- Open the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve.
- Let the system run until the vacuum gauge shows a good vacuum through the cooling system. Refer to the tool's operating manual for appropriate pressure readings.
- Close the vacuum generator/venturi ball valve.
- Disconnect the vacuum generator/venturi and airline from the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly.
- Wait approximately 20 seconds, if the pressure readings do not move, the system has no leaks. If the pressure readings move, a leak could be present in the system and the cooling system should be checked for leaks and the procedure should be repeated.
- Place the tool's suction hose into the coolant's container.
- Connect the tool's suction hose (1) to the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly (2).
- Open the suction hose's ball valve to begin refilling the cooling system.
- When the vacuum gauge reads zero, the system is filled.
- Close the suction hose's ball valve and remove the suction hose from the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly.
- Remove the adaptor cone/vacuum gauge assembly from the radiator filler neck or reservoir tank.
- With heater control unit in the HEAT position, operate engine with container cap in place.
- After engine has reached normal operating temperature, shut engine off and allow it to cool. When engine is cooling down, coolant will be drawn into the radiator from the pressure container.
- Add coolant to the recovery bottle/container as necessary. Only add coolant to the container when the engine is cold. Coolant level in a warm engine will be higher due to thermal expansion. Add necessary coolant to raise container level to the COLD MINIMUM mark after each cool down period.
- Once the appropriate coolant level is achieved, attach the radiator cap or reservoir tank cap.
Water Pump - Installation




- Clean gasket mating surfaces.
- Using a new gasket, position water pump and install mounting bolts as shown. Tighten water pump mounting bolts to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.) torque.
- Spin water pump to be sure that pump impeller does not rub against timing chain case/cover.
- Connect radiator lower hose to water pump.
- Install accessory drive belt (2) Serpentine Accessory Drive Belt - Installation.
- Position upper fan shroud and fan blade/viscous fan drive assembly.
- Be sure the upper and lower portions of the fan shroud are firmly connected. All air must flow through the radiator.
- Install two fan shroud-to-radiator screws.
- Be sure of at least 25 mm (1.0 inches) between tips of fan blades and fan shroud.
- Evacuate air and refill cooling system.Coolant Air Evacuation
- Connect negative battery cable.
- Check cooling system for leaks.Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Water Pump - Removal
△ CAUTION
Do not pry on the water pump at the timing chain case/cover. The machined surfaces may be damaged resulting in leaks.

- Remove two fan shroud-to-radiator screws. Disconnect the coolant overflow hose.
- Remove upper fan shroud and fan blade/viscous fan drive assembly from vehicle.
- After removing fan blade/viscous fan drive assembly, do not place thermal viscous fan drive in horizontal position. If stored horizontally, silicone fluid in viscous fan drive could drain into its bearing assembly and contaminate lubricant.
- Remove accessory drive belt (1) Serpentine Accessory Drive Belt - Removal.
- Remove lower radiator hose clamp and remove lower hose at water pump.
- Remove seven water pump mounting bolts and one stud bolt.

Water Pump - Description — Water Pump Bypass


WATER PUMP BYPASS - 3.7L The 3.7L engine uses an internal water/coolant bypass system. The design uses galleries in the timing chain cover to circulate coolant during engine warm-up preventing the coolant from flowing through the radiator. The thermostat uses a stub shaft located at the rear of the thermostat to control flow through the bypass gallery.
Water Pump - Description — Water Pump


3.7L ENGINE A centrifugal water pump (5) circulates coolant through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold, radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core. The pump is driven from the engine crankshaft by a single serpentine drive belt. The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear of a shaft that rotates in bearings pressed into the housing. The housing has two small holes to allow seepage to escape. The water pump seals are lubricated by the antifreeze in the coolant mixture. No additional lubrication is necessary. Both heater hoses are connected to fittings on the timing chain front cover. The water pump is also mounted directly to the timing chain cover and is equipped with an integral pulley.
