Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me where I can get a Fort Lightening IC pump (part# M8501L54) for my C32 in Southern California area? I am located in Rancho Cucamonga/Rowland Heights. I need one by this coming Sat (going to the track)! I am having problem with my supercharger not kicking in sometimes... Thank you.

You should consider the Johnson CM30 instead. It seems to last longer and pumps more fluid. LET, a sponsor here, sells them and will ship directly to you.

Thank you guys. But, I need the pump to be replaced by Sat. So ordering online maybe out of the question. I am taking my C32 to the track on Sun... Does anyone know where I can get either ford pump or Johnson CM30 in Southern California? Thanks.

jturkel

well if you need one asap, maybe a ford dealership? i mean heck, they sell Lightnings and I'm sure they do work on them....maybe you can buy one there if they have some in stock?

If you need it by Saturday, I strongly suggest you check the availability of the pump from our forum sponsors first.

If they don't have it in stock / can't get it to you by Saturday, go to your nearest Ford dealership. You're bound to have several Ford dealers closeby. The Ford Lightning IC pump (part# M8501L54) is used by several vehicles so you should be able to source one.

I've tried calling a Ford dealership near by and a guy at the part department told me that this part is available through Fort Motorsports only so they don't have them at the dealership. Is this correct? Thanks.

jturkel

i personally dont know. did you try calling more than one Ford dealership? See if another one gives you the same answer.

Try and bunch of the dealerships.
There was a guy here on this forum (C32AMG_FL.) who supplied many of us with the intercooler pump. However, he hasn't been active on the C32 forum lately (since he got an E55).

Alternatively, you may want to hit up some of the SVT / Lightning forums and somebody can hook you up.

I will make some calls to my local Ford Dealers tomorrow. Does anybody know any forum sponsors that are in S.CA area that may have this Ford pump or Johnson pump in stock? Thanks.

check the www.code3performance.com website under C32. I think there might be some there and I believe Brandon/Code3Performance is located in Cal, not sure where. Should say on the website

You should try other dealerships.... usually they have this item in STOCK atlesast in NORCALs they do. I have one for spare.... but you would have to pay next day shipping that could cost you an arm and leg... pm me if you want it.

gordon2726

well guys, I just called another Ford Dealer and they're telling me that the closest Dealership that has this part is at Vegas so... I think I am out of luck getting one from a dealer. I will call Brandon/Code3Performance today to see if they can ship out a Johnson pump today from Santa Barbara... Hopefully, it'll arrive tomorrow to Rancho Cucamonga.

jturkel

ok. goodluck!

Jerry has them in stock as well and can get them to you.
