Under repeated heat cycles, OEM bearing assemblies develop radial runout under serpentine belt tension. This shaft wobble causes uneven seal wear, coolant aeration, and cavitation within the pump housing. Left unchecked, air pockets form across the aluminum cylinder heads, triggering rapid heat spikes and risking head gasket failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replacement pump utilizes a reinforced cast-aluminum housing and a high-efficiency cast impeller designed to reduce cavitation and maintain smooth hydrodynamic flow throughout the cooling circuit. Fitted with a heavy-duty, heat-treated steel bearing assembly and an upgraded ceramic-carbon dynamic mechanical seal, it prevents shaft deflection and weeping under continuous load. A premium, precision-molded elastomer gasket is supplied to guarantee a positive seal against the \u003cstrong\u003eJS\u003c\/strong\u003e chassis engine block face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Water Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 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: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\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;\"\u003e2011-2014 Dodge Avenger\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 \/ JS\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\u003e2011-2014 Dodge Avenger (3.6L Pentastar V6)\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 JS Avenger?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2011-2014 Dodge Avenger equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e3.6L Pentastar V6\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eThis unit does not fit Avenger models equipped with the 2.4L I4 engine or earlier 2.7L\/3.5L V6 architectures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to bleed the cooling system after replacement?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, thorough cooling system vacuum filling or manual bleeding via the engine air-bleed valve is mandatory to prevent trapped air pockets from causing local overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodge Performance Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to handle the thermal demands of the 283 hp Pentastar powertrain, this pump delivers consistent cooling velocity to ensure your sedan maintains peak operating temperatures during demanding driving conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545083445496,"sku":"DS-EDVNN4PD7","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-dodge-avenger-2011-2014-3-6l-1.jpg?v=1790716266","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/performance-water-pump-kit-for-dodge-avenger-2011-2014-3-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
