hi all ... i was driving on the freeway on my way home and my supercharger stops working while I'm just driving along at around 70mph ,so i pulled off the freeway and stopped and looked under the hood to make sure my belt was OK and it was, so i start the motor up and its fine (supercharger works ) so back on the freeway on my way back home and in about 10 miles or so NO supercharger so off i go again and i stopped at a gas station and talk to the in the shop guy and he looks it over checked fues,belts,ect... can't fine nothing wrong and when i started back up supercharger working fine well it did it 2 more times be for i could get home .... has anyone had this happen? or have a idea whats up be for i take it to the rip off dodge dealer?

 

Bosch Intercooler Fluid Pump

Buy this, install it. Your supercharger intercooler pump is dead, so your supercharger will engage until the intake temps get high because the air-to-water intercooler has no water flowing through it - then, the ECU prevents your supercharger from engaging.

No harm has been done to your car and it'll just be underpowered until you replace the pump, so the only rush is to get yourself driving at a real speed again

People also install a "Johnson CM30" pump which can be found online. Search the forum for "intercooler pump."

 

OK not so fastfred.
IC pump gone is my guess. Others will chime in.

 

Never used the search before have you?

Search for supercharger cooling pump, or intercooler pump.

 

Fred, have you not paid any attention to us on here at all? Shame on you. Your inner cooler pump has quit working for you. You need a new one. www.needswings.com can supply you with a new one. Or, if you have warranty left, you will have to explain it to the service writer, because he/she will not have a clue what is wrong. I am sure others will follow with even more explanations...

 

Yo Fred. Stop being so fast and slow down long enough to visit and READ the forum!

As others have already mentioned this is a VERY common problem.

Spend some time with us and you will be able to go down to the Dodge dealer and teach them things about your car that they know nothing about!

Now change out that pump! Easy job for you to do.

 

Don't forget to check the easy thing first, the fuse.... Mine was blown and I jumped to the pump and figured it out after installing the new pump.

 

you blew that fuse taking out the old pump....lol... now, don't you feel better....

 

thanks guys i had a feeling it mite be that but my temp Gage never moved and i already checked the fuse an belts that was the 1st. thing ......so i take it this water pump is not hooked up to the Gage on the dash? so witch one is better the Bosch or the Jonson??

 

Get the Johnson pump.

 

The pump circulates coolant through the intercooler and heat exchanger to lower your air intake temps.
When it goes out the coolant doesn't circulate and thus doesn't get cool. The supercharger will cut out to protect the engine and restart once the coolant temp cools down again.

Pump is located behind the passengers front wheel well. There's a how to somewhere here and I'm going to give you a chance to excell and find it yourself!
The Bosch works just fine but a lot of us have gone to the Johnson for added protection and to feel good about ourselves!

Here's a picture showing the pump. It's that snail shell looking thingy on the left!

 

DJ has his front bumper cover off so it is very easy to see.....

 

Thank You!!!!!!!

 

some one on here said it could be fuse 13 supercharger pump fuse, I had replaced my pump in August and it started again and I replace a burnt out fuse 13 today .Hope it works. just a thought could save you some time

That's a tiny pic.

 

thank you all for the input yea it was the pump and the fuse i changed even throe it looked OK and now its been running fine....

 

took you awhile....lol.... Glad it worked out for ya...now hang around, and we will show other ways to spend your $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

yea i was going round and round with the dealership and all that they said is you fix it and that was about 1,200..even throe its a know fact that they all leak at some point.... and yea spending some more $$$$$$$$ is what I'm going to do 1st. thing is maybe the supercharger pulley upgrade but i don't know witch one to go with?? any input???

 

Eurocharged is your only option for a SC pulley upgrade..... if you want an oversized crank pulley you have more options: Needwings, Eurocharge and ASP. Maybe RennTech too..... sizes 178mm and 185mm. I dont think anyone is making a 181mm any more.....
