if it was on a toggle it might not be bad for warming the truck up in the morning LOL

if the electric pump will pass tech at all the pulls i plan on going to, then i may get it and put it on a relay and toggle with a bright blue LED on it so i know when its off and dont forget to turn it on...it would be nice for getting the truck warmed up in the winter and on cool summer nights getting ready to pull...no need to run the truck and sit in there holding it at 1500 rpms for 10 minutes to get it up to 160* or more.

I kinda thought that also! So I figured I'd better post an actual answer before the thread goes south.:hehe:carfichris said:WOOOOO HOOOOO another water pump thread......come on everyone...gather round....
