Looks as if my intercooler pump has quit on me.
I gotta get out there & check the fuses and or relays. The truck does have 94K miles on it. Is there a milage limit on the pump? (ie: change at 100k miles?)

Is the dealership my only source for the pump?

 

You might try flushing it out first. Maybe something got down in the impeller and it's stuck?

If not then you might try www.fordpartsonline.com

There not cheap, mine cost me $279 when I thought mine went. Turned out to be the wire harness was laying on a header.

 

I noticed a while back that it wasn't circulating the coolant as fast as it did when it was brand new.
I thought it was my imagination, but i guess not.

I'll take it off this weekend & clean it out real good.

 

Try to run it directly off your battery to see if it is the pump.
That's how I found out my pump was fine.

 

Look for obstructions before buying a new one. Pumps like this do *NOT* tend to just deteoriate over time.

Not to thread jack, but how do you know if the intercooler pump stops working or dies?

 

I know him hes in our local SVTOA club . Hes a good guy.

 

yes he is, helped me out big time today

 

After your truck has warmed up, pop the hood & look at the intercooler reservoir on top of the radiator. If you see it swirling around a lot, then it's okay. If the coolant is not moving, fix it.

 

Interesting, I have the same problem. A few months ago, I thought my pump went out because I no longer saw any coolent bubbling around in the I/C tank when the truck was on. So I replaced it with a used pump I bought from a guy on here. I installed it and then started the truck. Again I didn't see anything except the level drop alittle. So I opened the cap and looked inside were I can see the coolent moving, but I don't see anything from looking at it from the side where the hose goes in.

Could this mean theres something in the system causing the coolent to flow slower than normal???

 

I'm not sure man. I also have a JL powercooler in the bed.
But I remember it flowing quite fast after the install. Now it doesn't flow.

I'm gonna yank it out this weekend. I have been planning on flushing the radiator anyway, might as well do both.


How many gallons does the intercooler & radiator system take?

Also, is there a more powerful pump for our intercooler out there? or would that be detrimental to our intercooler setup? (ie: not give the water sufficient time to cool in the intercooler radiator?)
