your probably not saving much hp with the electric fan. The load is just being shifted to your alternator.


Its way less bulletproof than a viscous clutch fan. You have relays, wires, motors, fuses (hopefully), connections that can come loose, and the added load cant be good for your alternator/battery/voltage reg

Thumbs up OEM water pump

OK well everything went well today i got the water pump pulley sand blasted and painted, everything that i removed was sand blasted and painted either black or Aluminum.

When i tried to swap the wheels off the 420SEL to the 300SD 14" wont fit the 420SEL 1986 damn it so i gotta put something on it, i can't just drop it on the disc brakes hahahaha

Oh yeah what i was posting about is well now i got this German replacement water Pump, and when i took off my Mercedes-Benz water pump the thing was mint! It made less noise then the replacement pump !!!!!!! daaaamn! so not i decided no to replace it just take off the rust and put it back on! wow Mercedes-Benz make parts that last forever this water pump is the original and never been changed and doesn't even make one little noise! it turn smoothly so f*ck changing it for nothing!

Tomorrow ill have an update on how things worked out!
