JDM has chosen a high performance water pump which maintains Ford factory cooling specs while decreasing parasitic losses, resulting in a 4-5 HP gain. This is accomplished through a more efficient impeller design and lighter rotating mass due to aluminum construction. The water pump is 4.5 lbs. lighter than the stock water pump it replaces. Note :This water pump can only be used in electric fan applications. We highly recommend this water pump be installed at the same time as the JDM Electric Fan Kit. Installation takes about 2 hours and requires hand tools and some specialized tools. However, when installed during the Electric Fan Kit installation, only a few additional minutes are required. We provide complete, illustrated installation instructions so, even if you've never done it before, you can install this product with complete confidence.
