Precision Cooling System Management: The 4792923AA Water Outlet Housing
Product Description
In modern engine design, the water outlet housing serves as a critical junction point in the cooling system. The OE# 4792923AA component exemplifies this engineering importance, functioning as both a mounting point for the thermostat and a directional hub for coolant flow in Chrysler's 3.6L Pentastar engine. This housing manages the complex balance between engine warming and cooling cycles, making its integrity fundamental to optimal engine performance and longevity.
Unlike simpler coolant connectors, this housing incorporates multiple connection points and sensor mounts in a single, precision-cast unit. Its failure can trigger cascading issues including coolant loss, temperature sensor inaccuracies, and compromised cabin heating performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does this housing cost more than traditional metal outlets?
A: The engineering complexity, integrated sensor mounts, and advanced composite materials justify the premium over simple metal castings. This is not just a pipe connector but a sophisticated cooling system management component.
Q: Can I reuse my original thermostat?
A: We strongly recommend against this. The housing, thermostat, and gasket form an integrated sealing system. Replacing all components simultaneously ensures optimal performance and prevents premature failure.
Q: What causes these housings to fail?
A: The primary causes are thermal cycling stress, improper coolant mixture causing degradation, and overtightening during installation. Our replacement addresses these issues through material improvements and precise torque specifications.
