Travis, I know you work for a Cat Rental Store. Relax. I'm not out to bust your chops. If that's what you think the purpose of my post was, I apologize. I was just making a point that pump speeds and outputs vary all the time, so why not do it with a model too. Given the choice, I'd throttle back the pump, AND have a heat exchanger, but if you only do one, I'd throttle back or turn off the pump altogether. Reduce the current draw, and save wear on the components. That's just my opinion. Everybody has one. You don't have to accept or like them, nor take offense to them. I'm just saying....
