Water pump removal

Im guessing you have the 3800 engine if so the power stearing pump is on the passenger side below alternator and pulley tensioner . you will need a 13mm socket to remove the pump bolts these usally only have 2 bolts and are removed by going through the holes around the inside of the power stearing pump pulley.. hope this helps

It is fairly straight forward except for the electrical that goes through the Column itself.

Be careful, I am assuming you want to change with a TILT?

Why do you want to change it ?

You most likely have a leak. You shouldn't ever have to add power steering fluid. It is best to get it checked out and repaired while the leak is small. If you wait, the leak will get worse and the oil gets dumped on hoses, belts, wiring harnesses, computer sensors, etc. and can cause severe damage to all of these items, as well as rubber engine mounts and suspension parts. To properly maintain your vehicle, NO fluid leak should EVER be "tolerated". Fluid leaks (of all types) are the leading cause of sending cars to the scrap yard way before their time.

Locate the cooling fan in front of the radiator...when you remove the serpentine belt and fan assembly (including the pulley)..usually 4 bolts on the front of the fan...you can see the water pump...Sometimes you can ask your Parts store to show you the new part...(water-pump) this can help identify what needs to be removed in order to replace...Use gasket sealant on the new assembly, and I also recommend the anti-freeze that is labeled "For All Models"...for longevity and cooling...You do not have to remove the radiator or anything else...Hope this helps...:)

The power steering pump is piggie backed to the vacuum pump. The seal in the back of the vacuum pump has engin oil under presure behind it cousing a leak that gets worse over time. Cummins make a seal kit to fix this leak.

remove the reservoir cap jack up the front of the truck turn key to unlock the stearing wheel then turn the wheel lock to lock for aprox 10 to 15 min ad fluid as needed

Gonna take a gander at a guess, and say a power stearing pump. Are you losing power brakes at the same time? If so, probably a serpentine belt. Or a loose pulley (bearing) in there. If only power stearing, check the power stearing fluid first.

If it is just the pump, not too awful. need to pull the right front wheel and remove some splash guards on the inner fender well.
Replacing the steering rack is alot more work.
Hope this helps.

3.0L or 3.8L engine?

please rate as fixed if this solves your issue.

   Water Pump
   

3.0l Mitsubishi 6 cylinder.
support engine... remove engine mount... remove alternator, power stearing pump, compressor (if equipt) do not remove hoses from power stearing pump or compressor move them out of the way were they wont get damaged. Remove the tension pulley for the serpentine belt, and the tensioner for the compressor belt if equipt. then remove the compressor mounting bracket. Next remove the engine mounting plate and the crank pulley and balancer assembly. you should now be able to remove the the 3 piece timing cover. Once removed remove the tensioner spring from the water pump and loosen the tensioner nut. Remove the belt. At this point it is also recommended to replace the water pump and plumbing as well. The water pump service life is aproximately the same as the timing belt at 60,000 miles. This engine in stock form is a non interfering type engine. Meaning that moving the cams or crank out of sync will not cause damage. Turn each of the cams over by hand and line them up with the timing mark on the top of the back cover with the marks on the pulleys. Using a wrench turn the crank so that the pulley mark lines up with the mark cast into the block. replace the belt, tensioner spring (replace tensioner if warn) and tighten the tensioner bolt. roll the crank over 2 complete turns forward and recheck the cams to make sure the marks are still lined up. roll the crank backwards and recheck the timing marks again. (this process is much easier done with the plugs removed.) If everything is still lined up correctly (crank at TDC and cam pulleys pointing to each designated mark on the covers.) reassemble the cover and assessorys in the reverse order that they were removed and reinstall the old motor mount or replace if needed.
