Intercooler Pump Check
Hello everyone this is just a reminder to check your I/C pump. Mine gave out at 65000 and who knows how long b4 that it hadn't been spinning at it's full strength! This problem, if left alone, could cause your engine to detonate (especially in these summer months) so check your reservoir often for extreme coolant movement (if it's moving like a lazy river then pay the $99 on ebay and change it!) It caused my engine to detonate for months and was one of the main culprits in my engine explosion
Just thought I would remind you guys

After my new engine was installed, I decided I better do a little preventive maintenance on my IC pump, so I took it off the truck, took it apart, and cleaned out all the carbon-like powder from the unit.
This is what I removed from the pump...

Take apart the front side of pump and you'll see all the build up of black cake like crap
Lightly tap to break it loose and dump it out
Some guys have reported inop pumps will start working again after cleaning the deposits from the pump.
