Anyone have a spare PCV grommet

[C5Longhorn]

I'm going to be changing the thermostat gasket and want to replace the pcv grommet.

Unfortunately, the Mopar part # 5245322, has been discontinued.

Anyone have any ideas on where I could source one (besides Dave's attic) or if there is a way to find a cross reference number? I heard this grommet is shared with Dodge V8's.

Thanks,

Rick

Have you tried Partsrack (JonB) or Chuck Tator, Tators Garage (formerly Tators Dodge)?

[C5Longhorn]

I plan reaching out to JonB. I didn't realize Tator stocked parts, thanks for the tip.

[dave6666]

I sent an email out. I'll let you know if I get any leads.

BTW, I outgrew the attic. I build a small warehouse. Please update your notes as such :D

[dave6666]

Okay got a reply back from my Mopar parts guy. No inventory at Mopar or dealers that use that system. Private inventories like Jon B or Tator are obviously outside of that realm.

[RyanLS.GEN2]

call JonB, i work for a company who has them instock, but we are not a board sponsor so i cant post it. But Jon B is partnered with us so you can get through him.

I was just looking for one to finish up my valve cover install, mine is literally crumbling. I sent you an email JonB.

Some available at OEM parts source also

Thanks Dave, and noted you now have your own private warehouse of spares.

[dave6666]

I will note having recently put one in my engine that they it was a pain to install. I think it's designed for something thinner than the casting thickness at the top of that block.

On a related note tho I was looking on the web at PCV grommets and there are some similar looking ones out there. If I find a match to the Gen 2 one I'll post the p/n just in case Ryan and Jon run out.

I have a spare but I chose not to use it. My car is far from “Concourse”. NAPA has one with the same dimensions and fits better than OEM. I’ve used it without any issues. NAPA Part # 630-1039. You can Google for a pic. I have pics of it installed, but all my pics are on my phone and this damned website/forum is terrible via mobile.

Very glad you found one.

[USAFPILOT]

Im gonna give that Napa part a try, if it’s no good I’ll pay for the OEM from you Jon. the place above doesnt actually have them. nobody updates their websites.

[RyanLS.GEN2]

We have them, i boxed 2 to ship after getting the emails, but both have since canceled to order else where.... usafpilot are you Rick?

[RyanLS.GEN2]

this is both parts for a gen1/one part for gen2 on my desk 46471

[JonB ~ PartsRack]

So we had three ready to ship, 3 inquiries, but NAPA gets the 3 sales!?

Viper Club Forum Sponsor loyalty is Soooo heartening. Thank You For Your Support.

Last month was a huge U Joint thread / analysis. In stock, 100% accurate advise here, But No sale here....... but saved $5 elsewhere?

Its time I retired........ Maybe a burn pile of OEM grommets for New Years?

[C5Longhorn]

I haven't bought and may still order along with a couple of 11 mm Torx bolts.

[JonB ~ PartsRack]

I certainly dont mind losing a $10, profitless sale. Its the principle.

You misspelled wine... :very_drunk:

I just ordered a tail light from Jon (somebody backed into my Viper...ugh!) because I knew I'd get the right part. I also got some good advice regarding insurance claims as a bonus. Thanks Jon.

[USAFPILOT]

I get what you’re saying, but 10.00 for the part, and shipping compared to 4.00 at NAPA Down the street is a no brainer this time. I’ve bought quite a bit from you, including two sets of tires, and will continue. Get over the ujoint saga. I’m still looking for font and rear sway bar end links, if you happen to scrounge some up.

[dave6666]

I knew I'd get the right part.

Have any of the Viper vendors ever sent you an incorrect part? I'm being serious. I've dealt with every one of them over the decades and never had a feeling of being unsure that way. Many other aspects to a parts transaction of course.

[Bill W]

Viper vendors have always come though with the right part. I got the wrong part from a major Mopar online store once. I also had a Dodge dealer order an evaporator core when mine went. It was the wrong part and it kept my Viper in the shop for two weeks.

[USAFPILOT]

FYI the Napa part seeps a bit. Looking again for unobtanium/ OEM grommets. Tried JonB, says unable now. Guess I missed the boat. Ideas?

[Lunchbox]

Pretty sure the 5.9 Dodge Ram engine uses a similar, if not the same part. That’s what I’ve got in my 01 gts and it seals up just fine. I think its also used in the jeep Cherokee as well. Runs about $20

[Hoonin88]

Pretty certain I bought mine off ebay. Let me see what my purchase history says.

Think we have 50 or so of these grommets

Best way to buy one?

[USAFPILOT]
