something like that, but that's what the Silverstate run is all about.hotmustang331 said:You think im going to be barreling down the highway @ 148 for 35miles on my way to work?I held it long enough to get there...which was also long enough to waste the GT I was racing . So your saying that the vette guy could only sustain 145MPH or thats all he could get to before it overheated?
I think the issue is not so much the reliability of the electric water pump but more of the consequences of a failure. If an electric fuel pump dies, your car quits. If a serpentine belt breaks, lights come on and you'll know immediately. If an electric water pump dies, your car goes on without warning until it overheats.MustangLife said:The meziere electric water pump was designed for daily driver in mind. The pumps life is 3,000 hours and is warrantied. I know plenty of people who have been running this pump with no problems some in the 2 to 3 year range. Just my 2 cents.
People who here the word electric are scared for some reason. This is also the same reaction that came when electric fuel pumps came out, you had the close minded people say mechanical is better I will never use a electric fuel pump. Now look all cars are using electric fuel pumps now.
Just my 2 cents.

I have a daily driver and I'm not willing to deal with the risks and consequences for the gains it advertises. If my car was a track car, then I'd seriously consider it. If you have enough confidence in the electric water pump, that's your call. You seem to know it all. Go for it! More power to you. The whole world is behind you!300bhp/ton said:sorry man but thats just BULL! :Total-CP: :Total-CP:
The Mustang has a temperature gage does it not, plus a coolant warning light if it exceeds a particular temperature.
If you had a hose burst (which is fairly common on all cars) you would have no extra warning.
Yes if the entire belt broke you'd probably notice other things, such as the tacho would probably stop working (has a pulse feed from the alternator). But the battery would certainly run the car long enough to over heat it.
I had an alternator failure on my Discovery will on compeition (night navigation course on & off road), I drove for 3 hours over roads and off road sections at night with the lights and stereo on. The battery only went flat once I got home.
What kind of gas mileage increase have you noticed?hotmustang331 said:I cant say if I reccomend it because of the fact that it MAY just decide to quit on you lol and you have to constantly worry about overheating and are always checking the temp gauge.
The power gain is definatly noticable I can say that, and its easy as heck to instal....mine has been on for about a year and 0 problems so far.
So the check engine light will come on if it starts overheating?
