My water pump gasket is leaking coolant like crazy, so I'm just gonna do the whole pump and gasket. I'm wondering if anyone's done one yet on a 2011 5.7 and how hard it is?

Simple. O ring gasket. Just make note of where the bolts go. They arent all the same length. And snap a pic of the belt routing to make it even easier.

Right on, thanks for the reply. How long did it take you?

I have assembled dozens of performance hemis at work.

Including removing the hoses, swapping the sensor, dealing with the belt... id say if you have more than an hour in it, you are really taking your time.
