So I have a few general questions...
1. What is the best pump to by regarless of cost (i want one that will last and one that is easy to install)
2. Is there any places online to order these or should I hit up an autozone or sumptin of that nature?
Thanks again gang...
Best pump?............. probably the Johnson CM30 - from time to time they pop up on e-bay (I got one there for about $85.
Next best pump...........the Bosch Ford Lightning intercooler pump - always available on e-bay for about $85.
Alternatively, contact Curtis at 1-800-301-2571 (a.k.a. C32AMG_FL on MBWorld - he works at a Ford dealership). He is a stand-up guy and has hooked many a C32 owner up with the pump and electric connection for under $100 shipped.
You'll lose about 1/4 to 1/2 gallon of coolant.
Total, if you do it yourself (about 1 hour job the first time) it should cost you no more than $100.
