Water Pump Recall

[MarkEagleUSA]

What bearing comes in contact with antifreeze?

Water pump?

Water pump?

If coolant is coming in contact with that bearing the pump has already failed.

I doubt it will be no labor if you request a complete coolant change. Not all the coolant comes out when a water pump is replaced????

I'm just talking about what they top it back off with There isn't a bucket in that shop clean enough for reused coolant. My coolant is new enough, I don't care about the residual. I'm ok not changing that with 30 K on the truck.

There's two bearings, one for coolant, one for grease. If either fails, your pump is going to go bad shortly.

Both bearings are sealed from the coolant. All you need to do is look at your own reference diagram. You really need to educate yourself before trying to educate others.

I'd really like to see a bearing capable of lasting any kind of load and speed submerged in water. That would be some bearing. :-laf

Water Lubed bearing Cutlas bearings we've had them on boats for years on the main shafts.

And they have some type of rubber lining at the bearing surface. Metal to metal contact, as in a standard bearing in a water pump, would not last with water as a lubricant.

Bronze or phenolic bushings using the term bearing. You can bet a farm out west there's no rollers and races involved.

I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to. Of course the bearing is not running in coolant. Why the hate comment, I don't understand.

Sorry I wan't more clear. I was referring to the abrasive fluid destroy the seal and therefore the bearing

Read your own comment. One bearing for coolant, one for grease. Both bearings are for shaft support. Coolant or grease have nothing to do with the bearings, unless you're going to show us all how to grease the water pump. Erroneous information given to people without previous knowledge is worse than none at all.

I wasn't implying that the bearing is running in coolant. I thought that was understood. The bearings are for shaft support, of course, what else would you have a bearing for? My comment was misleading, I apologize. That was just a very ugly response? I don't think you would say that to me if you knew me. I certainly wouldn't to you.

Sometimes the truth is ugly. All you need todo is explain calling one bearing for coolant and one for grease. It's a rediculous statement and only confuses the less informed. And it's not the first time you've made demonstrably false statements. It's about time you educated yourself before spreading more ignorance via the internet.

MY comment was related to reusing the dirty coolant drained from the truck during the water pump installation. There is a simple misunderstanding here. When I said cooling side, I was referring to the mechanical rotating seal which isolates the coolant. On the other end is a permanently lubricated grease sealed bearing. You may know more than I do about the T51 recall. I am not capable of educating anyone on the specific design of the water pump, but I’m flattered that you think I have such knowledge.

I’m just an old man looking for friendly conversation. Like all forums, some people sit at their keyboard and make nasty unrelated comments to provoke people. I'm not going to go there.

You flatter yourself. I don't think you have knowledge. That's why I corrected you and said you need to educate yourself before giving erroneous info. I have no more info on the recall than anybody else here, but I do understand how a water pump is built.
Ps. Both bearings are permanently sealed and lubricated. Otherwise they'd need a grease fitting. Better stop digging, the hole is deep enough.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to slow down the videos either. I've seen several of these "productions" and some of the statements are not accurate at all. The uniformed however eat it up like candy. (Or to use the tired "just an old man" excuse; "eat it up like bran"

You really need to let this go. You won't get an argument out of me.

You didn't like my last one on checking the pump bearing, I thought that was genius.? I always get that one thumbs down from you but that one was good, you have to admit. Come on Minnow throw me a bone.
