2021 Ram 5.7 etorque water pump replacement

[Wmcglacken]

I am going to replace my water pump this weekend and was looking for pointers on tackling this job, any advice would be appreciated. I notice the tensioners are going to be a pain and unlike anything I have ever messed with before. Not a mechanic but I have worked on my own vehicles as much as possible.

Check the internet for videos. I'd be surprised if there's nothing out there on replacing the water pump.

If you need any info from Haynes manual let me know.

Is there any difference between the non etorque water pump and the etorque one? I’m replacing mine and the dealership said it’s on back order for a month. Tried Summit and Mopar but everyone is a ways out. They wanted to charge me $2k to replace mine.

How did your replace go and do you happen to have the part number and where you got it?

Thanks!

When I do a parts search on rockauto they show different water pumps for etorque vs non-etorque. So I would conclude that there is a difference.

Edit: After looking on a Mopar site it looks like there are definitely differences between them. Not sure what the differences are but they have different part numbers...

Okay, that’s what it seemed liked, but some sites have it listed incorrectly. Thank you. Ordered one from the Mopar website and after I ordered it, it showed back ordered with no ETA.

Yikes! 2k! I hope the one you ordered shows up soon!
