The milodon pump just a new pump you get at autozone with a anti-cativation plate welded on the back of the vanes and milodon checks and resets if necessary the measurement of the back of the vanes to the machined housing surface.

It's better that a stock new pump. But I don't think that is going to make the significant difference to why you are getting hot.

I didn't drill any holes into the milodon thermostat I run.

I still think a stock 7 blade fan will move more air than that Derale aftermarket fan. But I guess that's easy as clicking on a screen and delivered to you door.
