hello and Merry Christmas everyone

i changed the oil on my wifes 98 durango with a 5.9 the other day and leaned over and broke the oil dipstick handle off GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
i was wondering if anyone has an extra laying around or knows where to get one not looking for free i'll pay for it and all
thank you

 

check rockauto, or ebay, or your local junkyard (pick-n-pull)

 

+1 on the junk yard!

 

My first recommendation would be the junk yard. Make sure its from the same engine though as the 4.7 takes 6 quarts and the 5.2/5.9 only takes 5. Also if you were wanting to keep the oem style dipstick handle your best bet would be the junkyard. I remember I was looking for one because a similar incident happened and I found a couple for like $12 on various online stores, $.94 at the junkyard!

 

Dodge Parts has the OEM for $7.98. Just search "dipstick." By the way, all of the parts on that website are Mopar/OEM, the exact parts that came stock on the car.

 

Yes that is a great website to buy OEM from. Also, remember to clean the hell out of the dipstick if you grab it from the junkyard. The last thing you want is something funky getting thrown throughout your crank case.

 

I'm tryin to load the page but in FireFox it's asking permissions and is "untrusted", and Explorer it's pulling up a bad security certificate?


Don't know if I like that site, anybody wanna check into it?

 

Hydra, I checked it out and I remember I got a replacement oil cap from them one time. Doesn't show any pictures of what your getting except a figure drawing like one found in the service manual.
