Default Valve cover gaskets - which ones and where to buy??
Going to replace my leaky valve cover gaskets this weekend.

Are they all the same and can I buy them at most auto parts stores??

5.9L

Thanks

Nope...it is hard to get correct parts for our Mopar's....You can order a set from various online stores though. I highly popular set that is easily obtainble and affordable are the Mopar Performance crinkle cut valve covers.

Here is a set for $220 with shipping and you still need to buy new gaskets...(get Fel-pro if possible)

A-Zone, O'riellys are two. Any decent auto supply will have gaskets.

He's not asking about valve covers -- he's asking about gaskets.

get the rubber Fel-Pro from any parts store. They're super good gaskets.

Yes, I was very impressed with the quality of the FEL-Pro valve cover gaskets. I got mine at Advance Auto Parts for 25 dollars.
