Trying to install my exchanger (on my 2008 GT500) and it says to mount the pump in the same orientation that the stock one was. When I do this the outlet piece hits the top side of the fan cover. I put in the spacers and it still hits. (Even with two spacers on it) Anyone else with this issue or can advise me on this?
Revan H/E install question......
- Thread starter HISSNTEL
- Start date
Do you have a photo of the area?
Can't speak for specifically for a 2008, but there are some plastic pieces that direct the airflow into the stock HE which need to be trimmed (I used a Dremmel). These were next to the elbow that transfers coolant...just cant remember if it was on the pump of the HE itself.
If in doubt, I would call or email Van directly.
I had to rotate the pump slightly with my Afco. I lubed the rubber insulator with brake cleaner, rotated the pump, and the brake cleaner evaporated leaving a nice tight fit. I didn't want to use WD-40 or similar because then the pump could slip forever.

Edit: I'm full of crap. Zporta is correct in his following post. Brake cleaner is bad for rubber.

i think brake clean is bad for rubber.
Nope. Brakes have rubber parts. Both disc and drum. They're not affected.

Edit: Zack is correct. I just read my brake cleaner can. It says PROTECT rubber parts. Just cause I'm old doesn't mean I'm wise.

Just squirt some WD 40 between the rubber bracket and the pump and twist until you can articulate the pump into position.
