Eliminate Coolant Leaks Before They Start with a Billet Water Neck
The Billet Technology 300222 Billet Aluminum Water Neck replaces the factory plastic or OEM water neck (thermostat outlet housing) with a precision CNC-machined billet aluminum piece on your 2011-2024 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger. The factory water neck on these high-output 6.4L 392 HEMI engines is a known weak point that warps and develops coolant seepage under the repeated thermal cycling of hard driving. The 300222 is CNC machined in Lake Worth, Florida from solid 6061-T6 certified domestic aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering a permanent solution that also adds a premium machined appearance to the engine bay. Direct bolt-in fit, OEM gasket compatible, no modifications required.
