The Dodge ones are a standard Pipe plug, can be gotten at most auto part stores (got mine from Napa) or Farm store. Chrysler doesn't list them any more at all. As for the GM ones those can still be gotten from GM direct. The ones I got from Napa are the same as the OEM ones, so I am sure in another 15 to 20 years I will have to replace them again (if my toy is still going then that is)
