Go to the autozone website at autozone,com and register your vehicle. It's free and will give you access to an online repair manual for your vehicle. The steps for replacing the water pump on your car should be found there. Sure hope this helped and best wishes.

SOURCE: how to replace water pump on a 1998 dodge durango

Socket Set, gasket scraper and the most important is the strap wrench to wrap around the pulley and remove the fan blave from the water pump

SOURCE: overheating 2003 dodge durango. What could be the problem??

When engine running, ensure no engine combustion gas bubbles in coolant resevoir (if so, the head gasket is blown).

Check cooling fans are operating ok (when required when car warms up), if not check
1) fuse,
2) relay operation,
3) heat sensor switch.

Replace thermostat.
When re-filling cooling system, bleed off any airlock as necessary.

Check for collapsing (soft) coolant hose on suction side of waterpump when engine revs above idle.

SOURCE: my 2001 dodge durango is overheating an leaking coolant from a round plug type thing in the corner on the passenger side near the windshield

What exactly is the "round plug type thing" near the firewall [passenger side]? Is it a sensor of some type? I, too, have a coolant leak here on my 2001 Durango; its tucked in rather tightly near the hood/firewall corner. My electric fan is not kicking on; vehicle overheated tonight. (4.7 liter)

Dodge Durango new water pump but still heating up

Check for a clogged radiator. Also check for proper fan operation. Do not mess with the cap. That has nothing to do with overheating.

Did it ever get really hot, If so it could have a head gasket problem,.You did just about everything, I would take and get presure tested. Could just be a calopased hose. Good luck on it.
