The water pump market is evolving fast, with millions of vehicles relying on mechanical or electric water pumps to stay cool and perform at their best.
Mechanical water pumps still dominate most vehicles. However, as OEMs continue to incorporate start/stop systems, hybrids, and electric drivetrains, electric water pumps (EWPs) have gained ground and present real service opportunities for the aftermarket.
When looking for a quality supplier, verify that the pump is thoroughly tested. Also confirm the pump meets OE fit, form and function. Choose suppliers that work with OEMs.
Finally, ensure high-quality materials are used since water pumps face corrosive environments. You want a pump that will last.
Electric Water Pumps for Modern Cooling Systems

Repair shops can have confidence in what they install. Dayco’s electric pumps are direct-fit, bolt-on replacements, so no modifications are needed during installation. They feature self-lubricating, corrosion-resistant bearings compatible with all engine coolants and tapered motor brushes for faster break-in. They also use high-strength seals to prevent leaks.
Installation Best Practices for Electric Pumps
Now let’s talk through four installation best practices, as some common mistakes can happen during EWP replacement.
First, remind your shop customers to flush the system completely to remove any residual contamination. Use a 50/50 mix of the correct coolant and distilled water.
Second, remind customers that reusing old seals or gaskets can cause leaks. Offer to add new gaskets and seals when doing a water pump replacement.
Third, ask the shop if they need a belt, tensioner and pulley when replacing the pump. A systems approach is best since components perform better when replaced together.
Fourth, tell shops that voltage checks are critical when installing electric pumps. Check voltage and grounding before and after. Low voltage can quickly destroy a new pump.

Carlyle Tools, the private label hand tool brand of longtime Ron Capps Motorsports (RCM) partner
link hidden, please login to view, will back NHRA drag racer Maddi Gordon as she embarks on her rookie season competing in the sport’s professional Top Fuel ranks, it was announced today at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. In April, fourth-year NHRA team owner/driver Ron Capps confirmed that he would expand his single-car operation into a two-car team in 2026 and had selected Gordon as the driver of his organization’s first Top Fuel entry. Capps, a three-time Funny Car world champion and 31-year veteran of the sport, has enjoyed a nearly 19-year partnership with NAPA Auto Parts. On Tuesday at the SEMA show, Gordon revealed the black-and-venom-green Carlyle Tools Top Fuel dragster that she will pilot at all 20 NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series events in 2026, starting with the series’ season-opener in March.
“This is definitely a pinch-me moment,” said Gordon, a third generation drag racer who grew up traveling the NHRA tour with her family’s Top Alcohol Funny Car operation and became the 100th woman in NHRA history to win a national event when she scored her first victory aboard the family entry. “I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that I get to drive a dragster for Ron next year, and to do that with such an innovative and dynamic brand like Carlyle Tools is a dream. My family and I started working with Carlyle earlier this season on our Alcohol car when Ron helped to set us up with a product agreement. It was so cool to be able to represent them on a smaller scale this year, but the fact that it has evolved beyond that, and I’ll get to be ‘the Carlyle driver’ competing in NHRA’s pro ranks, is not something I could have ever imagined.”
The partnership with Gordon reflects the recent Carlyle Tools brand transformation, which is geared toward reaching students and young technicians. At just 21 years old, Gordon is adept at both driving and wrenching on her family’s race car, perfectly embodying the demographic Carlyle Tools is hoping to attract.
“Maddi doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk,” said Capps. “When we announced that Maddi would be joining RCM earlier this season, I had said that we were going about this a bit backwards, because normally you start out by securing funding and then you add the driver, but for me it was important to pay it forward and give an up-and-comer like Maddi, who both drives and works as a crew member, ‘the shot’ that Snake (Don Prudhomme, Capps’ former team owner) gave me. Maddi does the clutch; she can pull a cylinder head, she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty; she does it all. NAPA and Carlyle recognized those qualities in her, and I think the fans will too. She is the ultimate spokesperson for Carlyle Tools and will be an awesome ambassador for the brand.”
Katherine Wooten, NAPA Director of Partnerships Strategy and Activation shares Capps’ sentiment, also emphasizing Carlyle’s push to bring young men and women into the auto care space.
“Maddi represents everything we’re working toward with the Carlyle Tools transformation – she’s young, she’s incredibly talented, and she knows her way around an auto shop,” Wooten said. “When we reimagined the Carlyle brand, we had the next generation in mind, and we were looking for someone who could authentically connect with young technicians. Maddi doesn’t just drive the car, she understands the tools and knows what it takes to build something from the ground up. That’s exactly who we want to represent Carlyle. We’re thrilled to welcome Maddi to the NAPA family and can’t wait to watch her legacy unfold.”
After closing out the remainder of the 2025 season with her family, Gordon, who earned her Top Alcohol Funny Car license in 2023, will begin the licensing process to compete in NHRA’s premier class. She has three national event wins, four regional triumphs, and currently sits third in the points standings. Gordon will kick off her Rookie of the Year campaign aboard the Ron Capps Motorsports Carlyle Tools Top Fuel dragster when the 2026 season gets underway with the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla., March 6 – 8.

Kasey Kahne Racing is excited to announce Daison Pursley as the new full-time driver of the NAPA Auto Parts No. 9. Pursley will debut with KKR at the World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte before taking on his first full season with the team in pursuit of the 2026 High Limit Racing championship.
At just 21 years old, Pursley has already emerged as one of the brightest and most dynamic young talents in the sport. His resume includes the 2025 High Limit Rayce Rudeen Foundation Rookie of the Year, 2024 USAC National Midget Championship, 2024 Indiana Midget Week title, 2023 National Sprint Car Rookie of the Year, and an historic sweep of all three USAC divisions at the 2025 4-Crown Nationals at Eldora Speedway.
“I recognize Daison’s commitment to excel in the sport and be a top sprint car driver,” remarked team owner Kasey Kahne. “His story and resume speaks for itself, and in some cases, mirrors the same passions I had as a young racer. His drive, goals, and talent are aligned with KKR and our partners. We look forward to doing big things together.”
“I’m super grateful for this opportunity,” Pursley said. “To drive for Kasey and everyone at KKR is truly a dream come true. I look forward to carrying on the legacy and success that KKR has built. I’m also really looking forward to representing NAPA. They’ve been such a huge supporter of KKR for many years, and it means a lot to have them on board with me. I can’t wait to get things started.”
“As part of our continued partnership with Kasey Kahne Racing, we are thrilled to welcome Daison Pursley to the NAPA Racing family and look forward to ushering in a new era of success with the NAPA Auto Parts No. 9,” said Katherine Wooten, NAPA Director, Partnerships Strategy and Activation.
With Daison Pursley strapping in, KKR is ready to carry its momentum into 2026 and beyond. Backed by the strength of our partners, the team remains driven by one goal — to keep winning at the highest level.
