Installing a electric water pump

[Tony Burkhard]

since my truck is a daily driver 99% of the time, would it be beneficial to just not block anything off and just use it in the factory configuration?(except with the pump inline in the lower radiator hose)

also:

does anyone know if this pump is centrifugal? positive displacement?

Thanks,

Pepp

You have to hook the bypass in before the pump.... centrifugal.

The pipe coming from the T-stat housing to the pump is a bypass that is letting coolant from before the T-stats into the pump. The heater core circuit does the same thing - before the T-stats to the lower rad hose into the pump. When I installed mine I blocked the bypass line and moved where the heater core ties into the lower hose to before the electric pump. Didn't have any issues.

On my daily driver... It gets into the 20s here a few times a year. My wife is from Brooklyn so we go up there to see her family and my family is in Ohio.
