Could be a hose or the water pump, but Dodge Intrepids are Famous for blowing the head gaskets. I'll bet that's what's going on with yours also.

they probably knocked a vacum hose off while doing repairs. look for cracked or loose hoses.

replace the cap--is the radiator damaged? No reason to replace the water pump. Boiling is caused by leak, faulty thermostat, clogged radiator, or head gasket.

a timing belt. the water pump uses it to turn it and you got to take it off to change the pump anyway so you might as well get a new one.also the hydralic timing belt tensioner should be replaced at the same time just to be sure.you will need anti freeze of course as well

The water pump is driven by the timing belt you will have to remove the timing belt to replace it. It's located under the timing cover.

1st the belt must ALWAYS be replaced when the water pump is done or anytime the belt is distrubed, here are the only instructions I could find on the belt replacement.

Really depends on the engine you have.

If you have a 3.3 L engine then the water pump is a 5 bolt pattern

If you have a 3.5 L engine then the water pump is a 3 bolt pattern.

the water pump is timing chain driven and to replace it requires serious disassembly of the engine. it is a 13 + hour job and is not for the casual mechanic
