Thanks Boomer. Fun times ahead but it always pays off in the end when I get her back on the road. I'll do just that and let you know how it goes.
2009 3.9 hardtop coupe - water pump replacement
Im a green apple here but I've been taking care of my daughters G6 GT ever since she bought it. Zippy little coupe but man, the constant issues are driving me up the wall. CV joints - no trouble, burning through the transmission lines twice- resolved, brakes and discs-easy for anyone, coolant system? Well that's why Im here.
Ive changed the radiator out after it cracked, new upper and lower radiators hoses, put in a new thermostat, new coolant reservoir, new T junction, and bled the system. Now the water pump needs to be swapped out as its leaking.
Question is this, the motor mount/ absorber circled in yellow on the passenger side, can it be removed without the engine dropping any? I doubt it but better safe to ask 1st.
I might not need to remove it but I've also read others say it needs to be removed to get to the water pump better. I believe its got 5 bolts @37lbs each for torque settings.
Lastly, the 3.9 should not have the issue of having to deal with the timing chain correct? That is just for the 4 bangers. This is a V6. Or am I wrong?
Thanks for any help as I need to get her back on the road before the Lord Humungus starts to think he can rule the Wastelands.
