Radix intercooler pump TOAST
Was logging a few runs the other night and came across some pretty high IAT's. And then they wouldn't really cool down. Well after this and that found the intercooler pump was not running. Checked all the wiring/fuses and such. I narrowed down to the intercooler water pump. Anyone else had a problem with there's? Can't seem to find a thread about it so I'm guessing not. Knowing these pumps are the same ones that the Lightnings use I did a couple searches on the web didn't find much. Well anyhow talked to Kevin(super cool guy
) at Magnacharger today hoping for warranty...none 
...but I understand... Seeing as there was no warranty I decided to take it apart hoping for just a brush problem. AND THAT"S IT. Brushes where worn pretty much to the wires. Kind of strange I would think that they should last more than 25k. Maybe I just got a bad one. Think I'm just going to replace the brushes for now everything else about it looked fine.
Just wanted to post this up to see if anyone else has had any problems with there's. If so I might figure out a different way to go so I'm not replacing a pump once a year. And even with little problems like this the Radix still kicks ***!!

Havent heard of that problem before but that stock pump shold flow enoguh and be fine unless you plan on upgrading to a larger intercooler. I wish I had radix. What does your truck run just out of curiosity?
