6.0 water pump

[ronnie32567]

2003 6.0 water pump leaking only when engine off, leaks about 1.5 gallons then does not leak anymore. Engine never runs hot, two 3000 mi trips pulling heavy loads, now I'm afraid I'll get off and it will leak out the rest of coolant. Does anyone know what has to come off to get to the water pump, any help would be appreciated.

Hey NYC - I looked at the link you provided. MOST AWESOME write up and pics.

I do have 1 question and I'm sorry if this sounds stoooopid....but it looks like you have 2 belts on yours or was that my eyes playing tricks on me?

That was actually Lilpooh's posting, I think he was installing a new BPD water pump with the billet impeller. But it looks like his truck has a dual alternator setup(2 belts).

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah.....I've never looked at a rig with 2 alternators. For some reason, I was under the impression even the 2nd would be run off the same belt.

Thank you again.

Yea its a neat setup and can be adapted to a truck that was built with only one. No Problem, glad to help.
