WATER PUMP ISSUE

[Seanm322]

hey guys, in the last month I have went through 4 water pumps on my 2015 Ecodiesel, I have been told the pulley gasket was cracked and it was leaking, been told the cross members had extra coolant left over from old coolant, I just got it back Thursday and it’s leaking again. Is there any advice on what to do with this problem, besides getting rid of it, which I’m currently working on. Thanks.

Welcome wow that's a lot of time and money who is doing the work

Dennis Dillion Dealership. Yeah it is, tired of dealing with this crap.

Go to another dealer - they seem to have no idea what they are doing. Or DIY. The water pump is not a terribly hard job.

I think the Dealer is on the hook for 12 months, just take it back they may have someone else in the shop do it, a water pump isn't that hard to do right

Maybe, but this water pump apparently takes 4 hours to put in.

It really makes me wonder if they are using a MOPAR water pump. This type of nonsense usually only happens with a Pep Boys part. Crazy!

 

[Seanm322]

Yeah makes me wonder too, especially going through 4 of them.

I would look closely at the repair ticket and make sure they are using part number 68211202AA or 68211202AB. It is a 500 dollar water pump from Mopar but there is a GMB pump that is about 125 bucks.

 

[Seanm322]

I’ll check that. Thanks.

Looking for instructions on remove and replace of the water pump?
