When a Toyota Tundra comes into the shop leaking coolant and running hot, there’s one usual suspect—the water pump.
If you’re dealing with coolant leaks or overheating, a professional water pump replacement is often the first step to restoring your engine’s cooling system.

This Tundra showed classic signs of pump failure: puddles under the vehicle, temperature spikes, and a whining noise from the front of the engine.
Our team got to work, and in this video, you’ll see the job nearly wrapped up. The new water pump is installed and we’re just a few bolts away from buttoning it all back together.
👉 Watch: This 2010 Toyota Tundra came in overheating—and left with a new water pump and a clean bill of health. Here’s a look at the repair process.
Why Water Pumps Matter in Your Tundra
The water pump keeps coolant moving through the engine and radiator, regulating heat and preventing overheating. When it starts to fail, you may notice:
- Coolant leaks near the front of the engine
- Engine overheating
- Whining or grinding noises
- Visible steam or hot smells under the hood
Ignoring a bad pump can lead to blown head gaskets, warped cylinder heads, or even total engine failure. That’s why it’s critical to address cooling system issues early.
