coolant booster pump (part of the heater system)

It is the Electric Coolant Pump on the heater core inlet hose.

EDIT: Tom beat me. I can't find a part number but Electric Coolant Pump is that the FSM refers to it as.

EDIT 2: It may be part number 55056055AA

Is it for the rear heat? Can it just be bypassed and not do anything?

Is that for the rear heat only? And could I bypass it with a elbow

It is for front heat at least. I have one on my D and only have front heat. I think it helps circulate coolant to the hater core before the engine heats up and the thermostat opens but that's just my guess.

If you aren't in a particularly cold area, you could probably get away with bypassing it..

The part is 160 bucks at the dodge dealer, I called them and they said its for the rear heat, and they said I can bypass it with no problems and not affecting the front what so ever. So went down to orilleys and got a 3/4" 90 degree elbow and bypassed it. Still gets nice and toasty in the D

Thanks for all the help everyone.

Fairbault? I'm just hoping we aren't getting messed with all this nice weather lately and get hit with more snow and crap.

Well my Durango has one and it has never had rear heat, so they aren't 100% correct on their facts - though I would assume there would be a booster for the rear, too.
