Namely, the Water Pump in Ford Excursion vehicles actively circulates water/coolant from the radiator to the engine to soak up heat produced during the combustion process. A large majority of Excursion models incorporate a belt-driven impeller to circulate the water-coolant through the engine head and then to the radiator. Although early designs may have incorporated cast iron water pumps, the contemporary models are crafted from aluminum to enhance the performance. Some of the warning signs that you need to get your water pump replaced are: leakage of the coolant, grinding sound coming from the bearings, and over heating of the car's engine. High performance engines can benefit from an improved water pump, this increases the flow of the coolant and decreases the parasitic power loss; those may include modified cast iron pump from stock or anodized aluminum or electric water pumps depending on the application.
Q: How to service and repair a water pump on Ford Excursion?
A:
You should start water pump servicing by draining the cooling system fluid. First remove the engine cooling fan after which you should take out the Drive Belt and the water pump pulley using bolt removal. Clean the mating surfaces while inspecting them following the detachment of the water pump from the cylinder block. It is essential to exercise caution during new water pump installation since different vehicles require either Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant VC-4-A (green) which meets Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A or Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant VC-7-A (yellow) meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 and coolant type mixing should be avoided. Before inserting the water pump into position, apply engine coolant to the newest O-ring seal and put the O-ring on the water pump before you secure it through engine block bolts. After placing the pulley onto the water pump install its bolts and then put on the accessory drive belt. After finishing install the fan together with fan clutch and operate the cooling system.
