Oh, yeah, I forgot about that guy. Nice and expensive also! And oh yeah, you are not going to trade me cars. Mine likes it too much in the "warmish" garage. Not outside.

tha aux water pump does not affect the heater. Mine was unhooked when I bought the car and the heat still blew hot. Its only purpose is to circulate coolant through the engine when it is turned off.

Yes I know, but it shouldn't affect how hot your heat blows.

but if it is not spining it will restrict the flow of coolent to that area and will only blow warm not hot beleave me i no but you can tack it out and hook the two lines together and have hot air just no engine cool down after run
