ATR auxilallry intercooler??

[asrnj77]

I have the ATR auxillary intercooler setup. I have noticed that my intake temps have been pretty high. I have wired the pump to run all the time and it still seems high. I also drained and refilled the system. My question is that does the ATR system add a second pump or does it replace the primary pump? I can easily see the atr pump in the bay but I suddenly thought that maybe my primary pump has crapped out and the atr system is getting me by but I may need to get the primary pump replaced. Sorry if this is obvious but I don't really understand how the atr system worked to began with.

No need to run two pumps.

If one pump stopped working if probably has caused a restriction.

I don't know anything about the ATR setup but it should be pretty easy to determine if the primary pump isn't working if there is one. The primary pump should be down behind the lower heat exchanger behind the the bumper cover. At least that's where it was from the factory. If the ATR setup added a second pump than things could have been changed.

X2. IF there are 2 pumps and one failed it will cause restriction. A pump is not designed to free flow through if it's not on, therefore it will restrict flow through the system if another pump is present. You really one need one good pump, there shouldn't be a need for 2.

I'll check to see if there is a primary pump tomorrow (out of town). The ATR pump is in the bay near the fan/alternator area.
