Default Where to buy engine emblem (V6 Magnum)

I removed my old emblems because they were cracked and old (the engine emblems next to each headlight on the side).

I didn't realize that there were two holes behind each one though...

I'm going to buy some replacement emblems, but where? I've searched everywhere. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Same I been looking for some time this is the only one with new ones but the catch you need to buy two one for the V8 and a set for the V6 all the rest are used


http://www.ebay.com/itm/DODGE-RAM-DAKOTA-DURANGO-V6-V8-MAGNUM-EMBLEM-DECAL-NEW-/120475152261

I just looked and I guess you can pick one or the other this was on the item if you read down some.

When you put in quantity 1 using "Buy It Now", you will receive 2 emblems.
Please leave a note or reply on which emblems you want, V6 or V8.

Good find man, yeah I don't know why these are so hard to come by.

It looks like the V6 ones don't have those black prongs that insert into the holes, though. Kinda wishing they did.

I wonder if I called Dodge they might have some in storage???

If you have an old one it put back in the mounting holes then with a pencil mark the bottom of the emblem so you can match it with the new one and get very close to the same

Unless way off no one will notice

Or just turn your V6 into a V8

Thats what I was looking to do make my 2.5 into a V6

Very true. Yeah I saw some other ones on there that didn't have prongs either. What would you recommend for an adhesive? This is gonna be permanent so I'm not worried about damaging the paint. Clean ride by the way!!

I also suggest letting your new paint cure at least 6 months before applying the emblems maybe even a year

Better safe than sorry
