I'm replacing my Renegade/Chrysler BB pump, since it locked up last night. I didn't here any noise at all ? The engine does make a bit of noise but you would think there would be some warning. Nope ! Maybe something broke off and jammed up the impeller etc. The pump just locked up and melted the drive belt. My question is I have been running a standard pump and decided to get a high volume unit. My assumption is the quality is better than my last one and with A/C it might perform better moving more water. I guess with more pressure comes it own set of issues. One thought is the belt was too tight, and that's a good bet. I'm not running a Thermostat but am running a minor restriction in the thermostat housing, which I think I should remove.. ? Any one have any input here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Thank You, I now understand there was allot of R&D done a long time ago. Surely there's more going on here then you might expect. I think I can use this pump for a while because it cooler here and I'm not running over 200 at any time. I would like to get the 6 blade unit installed soon. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

First thing is you always run a thermostat! and you never run a pump with stamped steel impellers, unless it's to the parts store to get a cast one. magnum 440's 68 through 71 have the pump your looking for buy them from mopar parts. As far as electric pumps, your on the money with longjevity issues they are made for drag racing or last resorts.Your moving water along way through a restricted enviorment. Large as possable lines are required to reduce your pressure. Similar is rear mounted rad's on mud boggers 1.5" lines are typical on thoes installs and work fine for up to around 600hp. Good luck and I hope I was of some help. |
