My Flowkooler leaked starting at the usual place, the weep hole, and the
bearing was failing. The plate and impeller are only half the size of a
standard impeller. My 5.2 immediately ran hotter once I installed the
Flowkooler. I will never use one of those again.

Rick-

I'm using the Flowcooler water pump in addition to a 160 degree Robert Shaw
on my Supercharged 3.9, the improved cooling was a benefit right from the
start.

(I've had it on for more than a year now, and the temp runs cooler and the
heater works just as good as before )

Where did your pump start leaking from?

That plate traps the water and increases flow, while reducing the coolant
temps. (also prevents the engine from
getting an air pocket in the water jackets)
