With 125k, I guess I'll be prepared to replace it before long and might as well bone up on same.
Anyone know of an article about replacing the Inter-Cooler pump?

 

No real need for a how to article. Loosen 2 bolts, pull the plug off, and remove the 2 coolant lines and poof, it'll come right out. If you look at the pump it's actually VERY self explanatory.

 

Not really hard to do.

Get the front end up on ramps.

Disconnect the harness at the pump.

Remove the 2 hoses at the pump. Use a bucket to catch the coolant.

Loosen the clamp holding the pump.

Slide the pump out and reverse order to install.

 

Thanks, sounds like I should go ahead and swap it out one week-end soon as preventative maintenance.

Thx Again!!

 

Ford parts discounted is:

""Water pump - 5.4 liter - 5.4 liter 99-04 $403.70 $363.33 ""

Is this about the right price?

 

You should be able to find one for about $80 on ebay.

Is it safe to say that at 125k ---- I should go ahead and replace it?
