Gates 41006 Engine Water Pump

Gates 41006 Engine Water Pump Overview

The Gates 41006 engine water pump is a timing belt driven replacement built for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Plymouth applications that rely on standard coolant circulation. It uses a cast aluminum housing, a stamped steel impeller, and includes a pulley and rubber seal ring for a direct-fit service replacement.

Gates Water Pump (Standard) components are built with premium alloy materials and are individually tested for seal and bearing function, plus leakage performance at both the casting and assembled pump level. That makes this Gates 41006 a practical choice for drivers servicing timing belt driven cooling systems on vehicles such as the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Dodge Caravan, and Jeep Wrangler.
