3800 intercooler hose routing

[1quick]

Is the outlet of the pump supposed to be going to the fiting on the bottom of the radiator or going away from the fiting on the bottom of the radiator.

I just noticed something and if I did what I think I did I will kick my own ass


thanks,

That's how it should be... The pressure from the rad should be "priming" the pump.

Maybe. But usually, these pumps are 12V DC sourced. So it has a neg and pos. You cant reverse that kind of setup.

Can you just unhook the pump and reverse it? If the pump is a 'T' style like mine, it should be easy to do.

So let me picture your setup - you are pumping into the lower end of the radiator, and trying to defy gravity?

Our pump is not reversable. You don't want to do that...
