Really important in the summer and after a hard run, especially if you're
using AC. Cools turbo down, preventing latent exhaust heat from coking the
oil...  Chances are that not only is the cooling pump bad (135.00), but the
thermoswitch (15.00), and the after-run cooling relay (108.00). BTDT all
three...
