WATER PUMPS—EXCEPT DIESEL
A centrifugal water pump 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 drive belt. The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear
of a shaft that rotates in a bearing pressed into the
water pump body. The body has a small hole for ven­
tilation. The water pump seals are lubricated by an­
tifreeze in the coolant mixture. Additional lubrication is not necessary. A quick test to determine if pump is working is to
check if heater warms properly. A defective water
pump will not be able to circulate heated coolant
through the long heater hose to the heater core. The water pump on all models can be removed
without discharging the air conditioning system (if equipped).
REMOVAL The water pump on all gas powered engines is
bolted directly to the engine timing chain case/cover.
A gasket is used as a seal between the water pump
and timing chain case/cover.
If water pump is replaced because of bearing/shaft
damage or leaking shaft seal, the mechanical cooling
fan assembly should also be inspected. Inspect for fa­ tigue cracks, loose blades or loose rivets that could
have resulted from excessive vibration. Replace fan if any of these conditions are found. Also check condi­
tion of the thermal viscous fan drive. Refer to Vis­
cous Fan Drive in this group. (1) Disconnect negative battery cable from battery.
(2) Drain cooling system. Refer to Draining Cool­
ing System in this group. Do not waste reusable coolant. If solution is clean,
drain coolant into a clean container for reuse.
(3)
Disconnect throttle cable from clip at top of fan
shroud.

THERMOSTAT
GENERAL
INFORMATION
The thermostat on all gas powered engines is lo­
cated beneath the thermostat housing at the front of
the intake manifold (Fig. 26). The thermostat has an air bleed notch.
The thermostat of the 5.9L diesel engine is located
in the thermostat housing at front of cylinder head.
This is on exhaust manifold side of engine (Fig. 27). The thermostat is a wax pellet driven, reverse pop­
pet choke type. The wax pellet is located in a sealed container at the spring end of the thermostat. When
heated, the pellet expands, overcoming closing spring

tension and water pump pressure to force the valve
to open. Coolant leakage into the pellet container
will cause the thermostat to fail in the open position.
Thermostats very rarely stick. Do not attempt to free a thermostat with a prying device.
The same thermostat is used for winter and sum­
mer seasons. An engine should not be operated with­
out a thermostat, except for servicing or testing. Operating without a thermostat causes longer engine
warmup time, unreliable warmup performance, in­
creased exhaust emissions and crankcase condensa­
tion that can result in sludge formation.

CAUTION:
Do not operate an engine without a
ther­
mostat,
except for
servicing
or
testing.
THERMOSTAT OPERATION-EXCEPT DIESEL
The thermostat controls the operating temperature
of the engine by controlling the amount of coolant
flow to the radiator. The thermostat is closed below 88°C (192°F). When the coolant reaches this temper­
ature, the thermostat begins to open, allowing cool­
ant flow to the radiator. This provides quick engine
warm-up and overall temperature control. The ther­
mostat is designed to provide a minimum engine op­ erating temperature of 88 to 93°C (192 to 199°F). It
should be fully open for maximum coolant flow dur­
ing operation in hot ambient temperatures of approx­
imately 104°C (220°F). Above 104°C (220°F), coolant
temperature is controlled by the radiator, fan and ambient temperature.
An arrow plus the word UP is stamped on the
front flange next to the air bleed. The words TO RAD are stamped on one arm of the thermostat.
They indicate the proper installed position.
TESTING-ALL ENGINES The computer On-Board Diagnostics include a
mode for a thermostat open-too-soon failure condi­
tion. The Malfunction Indicator Light (formerly called the Check Engine Light) will not be lit by an
open-too-soon condition. But, if it has failed open, a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) number 17 will be
set. Do not change a thermostat for lack of heat as
indicated by the instrument panel gauge or heater
performance unless a DTC number 17 is present. Re­
fer to the Diagnosis section of this group for other
probable causes.
The more common type of thermostat failure, usu­
ally found on high milage vehicles, is a thermostat
failed in the shut position. The temperature gauge (if equipped) will give an indication of this condition.
Depending upon length of time that vehicle is oper­
ated, pressure cap may vent. This will expel steam
and coolant to coolant reserve/overflow tank and to
surface below vehicle. Refer to the Diagnosis section
of this group. Also refer to the DRB II diagnostic
scan tool.
On-Board Diagnostics for the 5.9L diesel engine
can be obtained through the DRB II scan tool.
Vehicles equipped with a 5.9L diesel engine do not
have the DTC number 17 malfunction indicator lamp (check engine lamp) feature.

the replacement is the specified thermostat for the vehicle model and engine type. Factory installed thermostat housings on 3.9L/5.2L/
