I need one for mine, so I looked for one for mine

It is likely different from a 2001 5.2 auto. I might just go to the dealer and see if they have one...

no grommet on mine. I didn't even notice until you mentioned it. The shop manual shows one on the diagram but the CPS also looks a little different in the picture. Im not going to lose any sleep over it.

5.9 Durango

I can feel the rubber grommet on my 5.9 where the wire seems like it goes into the bell housing but I was told I had to pull the tranny back to actually get to the CPS.
