Thermal cycling causes the internal seal to harden, leading to coolant leakage through the weep hole, bearing wobble, belt misalignment, and sudden loss of coolant pressure that risks warping the aluminum cylinder heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured to address fleet-service stress, this replacement pump features a high-density cast aluminum housing with precision-machined mating surfaces to eliminate casting porosity. An upgraded unitized shaft bearing assembly and ceramic mechanical seal resist friction-induced breakdown under sustained thermal loads. Balanced internal impeller vanes maintain uniform fluid velocity and resist cavitation across the entire RPM band. The included OE-specification gasket ensures an airtight hydraulic seal to the engine block under heavy thermal expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Engine Water Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Precision Mating Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100% style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2012-2015 Ram C\/V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e3.6L Pentastar V6 \/ RT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e283 hp \/ 260 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e5184498AE, 5184498AH, 5184498AI, 5184498AD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012 Ram C\/V Base 3.6L Pentastar V6 (RT Chassis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2013 Ram C\/V Tradesman 3.6L Pentastar V6 (RT Chassis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2014 Ram C\/V Tradesman 3.6L Pentastar V6 (RT Chassis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2015 Ram C\/V Tradesman 3.6L Pentastar V6 (RT Chassis)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the RT C\/V?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2012-2015 Ram C\/V equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e3.6L Pentastar V6\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eCompatible with Ram C\/V (2012-2015) 3.6L Pentastar V6 only; verify engine displacement and configuration prior to installation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the fastener torque specs and bleeding requirements?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorque all mounting fasteners strictly to factory manufacturer specifications in sequence and vacuum-bleed the cooling circuit to purge residual trapped air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ram Work-Ready Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for high-mileage fleet durability and heavy cargo hauling, this water pump maintains critical coolant line pressure across demanding urban stop-and-go routes and heavy highway towing cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545090457848,"sku":"DS-EAMNE2XB1","price":73.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-water-pump-kit-for-ram-c-v-2012-2015-3-6l-1.jpg?v=1790716507","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/performance-water-pump-kit-for-ram-c-v-2012-2015-3-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
