18 Check pilot bearing. Replace bearing if dam
aged.
Lube

System
Routing—5.9L (V-8 Gas)—Typical All vehicles are equipped with either a 3.9L (V-6),
a 5.2L (V-8), a 5.9L (LDC-gas V-8), a 5.9L (HDC-gas
V-8) or a 5.9L (in-line 6 cylinder diesel) engine.
As coolant temperature reaches approximately
220°F,
the engine idle speed is increased by the pow-
ertrain control module (PCM) to provide increased
cooling system performance. The PCM was formerly
referred to as the engine controller or SBEC.
COOLING
SYSTEM
COMPONENTS—EXCEPT
DIESEL
ENGINE
The cooling system consists of:
• A down-flow radiator
• Thermal viscous fan drive
• Fan shroud
• Radiator pressure cap
• Thermostat
• Coolant reserve/overflow system
• Transmission oil cooler (automatic transmission)
• Coolant
• Water pump (to circulate coolant)
• Hoses and hose clamps Coolant flow circuits for 3.9L (V-6) and 5.2L (V-8)
engines with water cooled intake manifolds are
shown in figure 1. Coolant flow circuits for 5.9L (V-8 Gas) engines
with water cooled intake manifolds are shown in fig ure 2.
COOLING
SYSTEM
COMPONENTS-DIESEL
ENGINE
Coolant flow circuits for 5.9L (diesel) engines with
water cooled intake manifolds are shown in figure 3. The cooling system (Fig. 3) consists of: a cross-flow
radiator, engine driven cooling fan, thermal viscous
fan drive, fan shroud, radiator pressure cap, thermo stat, coolant reserve/overflow system, transmission
oil cooler (if equipped with an automatic transmis
sion),
coolant, water pump, hoses and hose clamps.
SYSTEM
COOLANT ROUTING-DIESEL ENGINE
Coolant is drawn from radiator into the water
pump. Water pump output is directed to the engine oil cooler cavity of the cylinder block (Fig. 4). From the oil cooler cavity, the coolant circulates
around each cylinder. It then crosses to the lift pump
side of engine where it flows up into cylinder head
through openings in top of cylinder block (Fig. 4). Coolant flows past the valve bridges (Fig. 5), to ex
haust manifold side of engine, to thermostat. As cool ant flows toward the thermostat, it provides cooling
for the injector nozzle.
When thermostat is closed (engine is below operating
temperature), coolant flows through bypass passage to
water pump inlet (Fig. 6). Once operating temperature is reached, the thermostat opens and blocks the bypass
passage. Coolant then flows to the radiator inlet.

WATER PUMPS—EXCEPT DIESEL
A centrifugal water pump circulates coolant
through the water jackets, passages, intake manifold,
radiator core, cooling system hoses and heater core.
The pump is driven from the engine crankshaft by a drive belt. The water pump impeller is pressed onto the rear
of a shaft that rotates in a bearing pressed into the
water pump body. The body has a small hole for ven
tilation. The water pump seals are lubricated by an
tifreeze in the coolant mixture. Additional lubrication is not necessary. A quick test to determine if pump is working is to
check if heater warms properly. A defective water
pump will not be able to circulate heated coolant
through the long heater hose to the heater core. The water pump on all models can be removed
without discharging the air conditioning system (if equipped).
REMOVAL The water pump on all gas powered engines is
bolted directly to the engine timing chain case/cover.
A gasket is used as a seal between the water pump
and timing chain case/cover.
If water pump is replaced because of bearing/shaft
damage or leaking shaft seal, the mechanical cooling
fan assembly should also be inspected. Inspect for fa tigue cracks, loose blades or loose rivets that could
have resulted from excessive vibration. Replace fan if any of these conditions are found. Also check condi
tion of the thermal viscous fan drive. Refer to Vis
cous Fan Drive in this group. (1) Disconnect negative battery cable from battery.
(2) Drain cooling system. Refer to Draining Cool
ing System in this group. Do not waste reusable coolant. If solution is clean,
drain coolant into a clean container for reuse.
(3)
Disconnect throttle cable from clip at top of fan
shroud.
