The Water Pump - Dodge Gen III Hemi 5.7L/6.1L 05-10 is an essential cooling system component engineered for the demanding thermal requirements of Mopar's legendary third-generation Hemi engine family. This mechanical pump is purpose-built for 2005–2010 Dodge Chargers, Challengers, Magnum models, and Ram trucks running the 5.7L or 6.1L variants. Whether you're maintaining original cooling efficiency or rebuilding after overheating issues, this replacement pump restores proper coolant circulation and prevents engine damage.

Manufactured by Melling, a trusted OEM-equivalent supplier, this pump features a durable aluminum construction with a natural finish and a 3.56-inch hub height—precisely engineered to match factory belt routing and pulley alignment on Gen III Hemi platforms.

Proper installation requires basic hand tools and a coolant drain procedure; most installations complete in under two hours. This pump is fully compatible with 2005–2010 model-year Dodge muscle cars and trucks equipped with either the 5.7L or 6.1L Hemi engine—verify your specific application before ordering to ensure correct performance.
