Might be some useful info for someone. I did run into some interesting things. FYI, I'm not promoting this. I get paid ZERO. I have benefitted from others videos and feel it's my responsibility to add my fair share. Thx RR MTV LMTV CAT 3116 Water Pump Change (youtube.com)

My pump is peeing out the weep hole...Part # 352-2149 best I can tell. But in the CAT pic, it dont look right/like mine. $521ea. dang....

So Ronmar, had a little time for truck maintenance and removed the filter/separator on the primer. I had a 1/16" x 1" twig lodged in the flapper.! can't make it up. Used an O-ring pick and removed it. She primes as designed!!

This chart applies to 3116/3126 engines. I want to do the pump also as I am at the lower end of acceptable. When I visited the dealer, I was informed of a pump update for the 3116. Evidentially it went from a gear type to a gerotor type pump. The REMAN was $750 and the new pump was $1800 or so...

For those who have installed these, did you just install and go, or verify/adjust the wheel bearings then install? And can you properly adjust the wheel bearing with the tire installed? Just curious...
