Truck Repair: Ni1 Cummins Water Pump Replacement, cummins n14, water pump replacement


Question
I currently own a 2005 Freightliner Classic with a cummins N14. I am planning to change my water pump. I have successfully changed a water pump on an Inline 6 Ford before and have done some minor repairs on big truck engines as well, however, I am not an expert nor have been formally trained. Are there any schematics available online that may help? Can you offer any advice?

Answer
It is not hard,just time consuming.Have to take fan hub loose,water pump belt,& water inlet pipe.The hardest thing is getting that water pipe out of the old water pump.Spray some kind of penitrating oil like WD-40 in the o-ring ports(pipe from water pump to thermostat housing)and twist it out.Probably have to spray it several times.There are 2 shouldered bolts that go on the water pump inlet side,the others do not matter.
