Dayco has launched a line of electrically controlled water pumps for 2017 and newer Detroit Diesel 13 and 15 variable speed engines. The company says 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 OE-engineered design for enhancing durability and increased longevity, this water pump is made from high-strength aluminum and uses only case-hardened roller bearings.
