I'm in the same boat, sorta. I bought a 05 SRT 'n noticed the extreme lack of power after 10mins of driving. I checked out this forum 'n did some research 'n decided to buy a Johnson pump for the cure... didn't work. Then I took it back to the dealership 'n they replaced my cooler & temp sensor. I still have the same problem. Later I checked out the fuse... which appeared to be fine.
I more or less accepted the problem and moved on.
(as sad as that sounds)

Woody told me to move the heat exchanger higher up into the air flow. I did that and have been problem free ever since. That includes while running stacked pulleys.
Might be worth a try. Worked for me and it's free!
I'm fairly naive when it comes to cars to a certain extent... however I replaced the IC pump myself with no problem
(or at least I assume so... I'm very experienced in wiring electronic devices, so I doubt I screwed up the connections to the pump) Is "moving the heat exchanger" something I could do on my own without taking everything apart?
I'm willing to try anything that doesn't include me losing more $$
I've been told that prayer works... but I'm not quite to that point yet.
