No, if it seemed unusual, I would not have bothered to install it. It
has been on for a couple of months now, but I have had one overheating
incidence, but it was obvious immediately that the temp ran higher, (at
standstill, running), than before. I had the truck in Texas while it
was over 100 degrees and the temp never exceeded 210 degrees sitting in
traffic.

I'll contact Flowkooler and find out what could be causing this on their
pump. Did you happen to notice anything "odd" on the impeller (disc not
tight, etc.)?

Hey Bernd,
I am sorry I took off out of town just after I told you about my
Flowkooler, but I have just returned. As a matter of maintenance, I was
changing out all my hoses and decided to go ahead and replace the water
pump, and thermostat while I was at it, both items that I bought from
you. While I had it apart, I flushed out the radiator and gently
flushed out the block. Since I have done that, I have noticed that my
engine heats up if it is sitting still which it never did before with
the stock waterpump. I already had a 180 degree t-stat in it though I
replaced it as well. I did not allow it to "peg" , as the temp climbed
while I was sitting in a drive through line, I turned off the a/c,
rolled down the windows and blew the heater, needless to say, I nearly
roasted since it was 95 degrees in Atlanta that day.
Just my experience with the Flowkooler. Like I said, mine does not run
cooler, it runs hotter since I installed that waterpump, and yes, my
thermostat is installed the right way. Rascal

Rich,
'96 is OBD-II and the older style use a slightly different connector.
'96-'02 are the same though.

I'm on the MAP connector search again. I still haven't found a source
for these darn things. I would be greatly appreciative to anyone that
will take the time to check their MAP connector on the wiring harness
for part numbers. I have a '96, so I'm guessing that any of the
connectors from around a '94 through a '98 will be the same. Thanks
again! Rich - Ashburn, VA
