Can a gasket be put on a water pump?
Can a gasket be put on a water pump?
What you want to do is get a good sealer (silicon or any other type) and put it on a gasket on the inside. Then you put the gasket on a pump. Then let it sit for a half an hour or 40 minutes and when it is sort of dry, then you can bolt it onto the vehicle.
What is the O-ring on a Chrysler 3.5L?
The replacement O-ring is P/N 06505692AA, and the metal tube is P/N 04792185AC. Replace both at the same time to prevent further trouble down the road. The cooling system on the 3.5L uses a water pump with a molded plastic impeller.
What kind of cooling system does a Chrysler 3.5L use?
The cooling system on the 3.5L uses a water pump with a molded plastic impeller. The design is more efficient than a typical stamped metal impeller and produces less cavitation, but the soft plastic impeller can be eroded and worn down by rust and sediment in the coolant.
Is there a free fix for a Chrysler 3.5L V6 engine?
The free fix involves replacing both fans with new ones (P/N CBHZL080AA) that hopefully won’t come apart and damage the radiator. Chrysler probably should have used a timing chain in this engine, but instead opted for a less expensive timing belt. The factory recommended replacement interval for the belt is 100,000 miles.
How to know if the head gasket or water pump leaks?
The antifreeze level should be approximately one inch from the top of the radiator. Add antifreeze if the level is low, then install the radiator cap. Drive the vehicle until the engine is at normal operating temperature, then park the vehicle and allow the engine to cool.

Where is the heater on a Chrysler 3.5L V6?
These engines have a small metal heater tube that runs from the front of the engine under the intake manifold. There’s an O-ring seal at the front of the engine that tends to fail and leak after so many years of service. The metal tube can also rust from the inside out and leak coolant.
