DILLARD000 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Welcome to the Herd! Lots of friendly knowledgable folk in these forums. Be aware: * The InternalChainDriven WaterPump in these TransverseMounted V6~3.5L~DOHC Engines are a NotoriousFailureItem\NFI; be sure to keep the CoolantSystem serviced every 33kMiles\4Yrs: New ThermoStat, New ReservoirPressureCap, New Coolant, and watch for coolant leaks from the weephole on front side of the engine behind alternator, or worse "ChocolateShake" colored oil on the DipStick. * If you've got AllWheelDrive\AWD, be aware of the PowerTransferUnit\PTU and RearDifferentialUnit\RDU; again NotoriousFailureItems; both need GearOil renewed every 33kMiles\4Yrs, despite Ford claiming they have "LifeTimeFluid" & are not servicable. * Another NFI, the Radiator FanControlModule, mounted on the upper left corner of the FanCowling; tends to fail & cause AC problem & Engine overheat while idling or in stop+go traffic.

Need to remove timing cover, chains, guides just to get to the pump. Very difficult access with engine in vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterPump inner gasket failed (there are two = inner + outer); blew all coolant out thru weephole on front side of block behind alternator. Was very lucky that pumps outer gasket or bearing did not fail; either would have put coolant into oil pan, made a "milkshake" & ruined the engin. Pulled Engin+Trans+PTU assembly from top. New items installed included: * WaterPump with MetalImpeller * Melling HiVol OilPump * TimingGuides+Tensioners+Chains+Sprockets+VVTSolenoids+... * New PTU, modifed with bottom Fumoto DrainValve & Hoses run from TopVentBarb & SideFillBarb to Vent+FillCan underhood between Battery+FuseBox * New Radiator & StainlessFlexHoses * New RadiatorFanControlModule\FCM * New Half+FullSpeed DualTempSwitch wired in parallel as backup if notorious FCM fails again. * ... Before taking any Timing components out, put these jigs/clamps in place on both CamShafts: Timng CamShaft Jigs\Clamps specificly for2007~2010 V6~3.5L~DOHC Engin ATPEAM# AP-04-2619 About $25 on "the river or the bay".
