Dayco, a leading engine products and drive systems supplier for the automotive, industrial and aftermarket industries, has launched a line of electrically controlled water pumps for 2017 and newer Detroit Diesel 13 and 15 variable speed engines. The new technology addresses a higher-than-normal failure rate technicians and fleet owners are experiencing with the original equipment replacement pumps.
The Dayco HD electrically controlled variable speed water pump will cover more than 350,000 vehicles on the road and be supported with a 250,000-mile warranty. Featuring an improved OEM-engineered design for enhancing durability and increased longevity, this water pump is made from high strength aluminum and uses only case-hardened roller bearings.
The technical team at Dayco has focused on bringing solutions to market that help solve problems technicians are having with original equipment replacement parts, extending service life and improving performance.
“After 12 months of testing and rigorous R&D, we’re ready to showcase this product at HDAW and are excited that it’s now available and in stock for orders,” said Jay Buckley, Director of Product Management for Dayco North America. “We believe this product will add value for our distributor customers and help improve profitability and customer satisfaction for repair techs who work on these big rigs.”
These electrically controlled water pumps will round out Dayco’s line of heavy-duty pumps, which offers coverage for 97 percent of the applications on the road today.
