Under continuous thermal cycles and transverse engine bay heat soak, the stock internal mechanical face seals wear prematurely. This leads to coolant weep-hole leaks, bearing contamination, and radial shaft play. Left unchecked, bearing wobble deteriorates the drive belt tension, promotes impeller cavitation, and causes localized boiling inside the aluminum cylinder heads, risking head gasket failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for sustained thermal stability, this direct replacement water pump features a precision-cast aluminum housing matched with high-grade silicon carbide\/carbon ceramic mechanical seals. The precision-balanced internal impeller optimizes coolant flow rates across all engine speeds while resisting hydraulic cavitation. Hardened, heavy-duty bearing assemblies manage belt side loads under full throttle, eliminating shaft runout. Paired with a direct-fit replacement gasket, this unit restores pressurized cooling integrity directly to OEM specifications (\u003cstrong\u003e5184498AE\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e5184498AH\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e5184498AI\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e5184498AD\u003c\/strong\u003e).\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 Mounting 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;\"\u003e2011-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan\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\u003e2011-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan (3.6L Pentastar V6 only)\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 Grand Caravan?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2011-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e3.6L Pentastar V6\u003c\/strong\u003e engine. \u003cstrong\u003eExcludes earlier 3.3L, 3.8L, and 4.0L V6 engine variants.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat torque specification should be used during installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTorque all water pump fasteners to manufacturer torque specifications (typically 106 in-lbs \/ 12 Nm in an alternating cross-pattern) to prevent housing warping and fluid bypass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodge Durability Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to handle high-demand passenger transport, long-haul highway towing, and stop-and-go commuting, this pump provides heavy-duty fluid control to guarantee long-term cooling efficiency under heavy vehicle loads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67545087574264,"sku":"DS-EEKREUKNT","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-grand-caravan-2011-2019-3-6l-1.jpg?v=1790716395","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/fr\/products\/performance-water-pump-kit-for-dodge-grand-caravan-2011-2019-3-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
