Just a quick post for the DIY crowd - replaced my intercooler coolant pump today. Super easy job - took under 1 hour with ChatGPT's instructions lol. Out of nowhere last week my truck threw P0EA7 and the "intercooler coolant" warning etc. IAT's and ICC temp in the 170+ haha. No subtle vibrations coming from the pump while the engine was running - pretty obvious it failed (41k on the odo). Did it all from the top - no need to pull off the wheel and fender liner like I've seen discussed on here in the past.
13mm deep socket for the four nuts holding the pump to the bracket. Small flathead to pop the metal spring clips attaching the hoses to the pump (try not to send them into orbit). Hose pinch pliers to prevent all the coolant from leaking out. Unplug the connector etc. Once the new pump is in and all hooked up you need to vacuum fill the system. I've never done this before, so I made a huge mess ensuring the elimination of any air pockets. Fire it up, check for leaks, & test drive. Good to go for hopefully another 40k miles
IIC Pump is: Mopar Part # 68430016AA - $423.36 from Mopar OEM Parts Outlet.
Linked below are the pinch pliers and vacuum kit I used - everything worked great.
